Bakhmut's losses were tedded: Russia is falling in Ukraine's support in Ukraine - media

The negative views of the Russian Federation on hostilities have been traced from the end of February. If the mass death of the invaders continues, the Kremlin will not help the army of propagandists, journalists write. Fierce battles in recent months in eastern Ukraine and tremendous losses of the Russian army have changed the attitude of the Russians to a full -scale war. About it writes the American newspaper The New York Times with reference to FilterLabs data.

"The losses in Bakhmut seem to be influencing the Russians. Since the end of February, the views have become more negative - the support of the fighting has fallen in early March, but resumed with the celebration of Victory Day on May 9," the authors said. US officials surveyed by US officials say that it is difficult to track the objectivity of social surveys in Russia, as in any other authoritarian country. Respondents often say that in their opinion, the government wants to hear.

The Kremlin -related news agencies, as journalists have established, are trying to counteract the growing concern, publishing more optimistic articles on the number of casualties in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "This year, the media controlled by the state has a limited impact on society. As the war continues, the failure at the front has become less shocking.

If the concern is preserved, the support of the war will fall, despite the efforts of the Kremlin propagandists," - said FilterLabs Executive Director Jonathan Tibner. US officials warn that Russians guess the high loss of their army in Ukraine. This has not yet led to a decrease in the support of war or Vladimir Putin, but with the increasing victims, everything may change.
