Cruel attacks in Ukraine need Putin to demonstrate force after Russian failures on the front - NYT

Previously, the Russian state media tried not to show the terrible destruction of civilian infrastructure in the cities of Ukraine and the suffering of ordinary people, now such personnel are actively demonstrating, journalists say. Thus, propaganda TV channels showed a bombed center of Kiev after yesterday's attack of the Russian Federation and empty shelves in Ukrainian stores.

It is a new Kremlin policy in response to the disappointment of citizens of the aggressor country, which were extremely dissatisfied with the retreat of the Armed Forces on the Federation on the battlefield. "The pressure inside the country on the unsuccessful hostilities of Russia has grown to such an extent that President Vladimir Putin has decided that a cruel demonstration of strength was needed - both for his audience at home and for Ukraine and the West," the publication states.

The apogee of dissatisfaction with the aggressive -minded Russians was an explosion on the Crimean bridge, which was considered the main symbol of the attachment of the occupied peninsula to Russia. Attacking Ukrainian cities, Putin played Russian citizens who seek blood and victories.

"It was important to demonstrate the leading class that Putin was still capable that the army was still in good thing," the Kremlin's new Russian political scientist and former Putin's former Putin Abbas Gallamov commented. At the same time, he emphasizes that such a "response" of Russia has shown the powerlessness of the state rather than its power.

Russian political scientist Vladimir Pastukhov, for his part, believes that such escalation "contradicts his own intuition" Putin and seriously limits the possibilities of his policy, driving him into a corner. "All Putin's actions are aimed today to get out of this corner, from which the only way out is the nuclear button," Pastukhov said.
