"Colossal blow". As the loss of the Kherson region will affect Putin and shake the foundations of Kremlin power - explains the political scientist

Political scientist, political consultant, will the loss of Kherson region be able to break the Kremlin's political plans? It will actually be a tremendous stroke for them, in view of the positioning of this war, which they lead against Ukraine, and the ability of the Russian Federation to win this war, or, as they say, to fulfill all the goals of a "special military operation" - such an oxymoron that they invented invented .

Video day, if everything is positive, which we hope, it will cause them not only the military, but in particular the image blow, which, to put it mildly, will shake the foundations of this power, which is formed in Russia today. Putin will not just look for some traitors or, sorry, idiots among the generality, he will need to look in particular. Because the adventure he started ends at all as they planned.

And this image factor and the factor of such a fracture, to some extent, is extremely important to us. We have to do everything in order to come as soon as possible. The indirect evidence of the importance of this fracture is the fact that the Russians themselves respond to what is happening in the south; what panic begins in the temporarily occupied Crimea, where there are Russian citizens, as they try to leave from there; What we see, for example, in Belgorod.

And in general - as in the public, they comment on everything that is happening. It is a panic, it is a fear and it is a huge doubt about the ability of the Russian leadership to keep the situation under control. The more they have such thoughts and such motives, the better [for Ukraine]. The failure in Ukraine will launch the process of the Kremlin coup? Will start similar processes. They are, of course, not so fast.

But it is clear that some of the elite (I do not justify it, but it is in fact)) are companions of this regime. They formally recognize everything that does this regime, but I think that somewhere there, behind the closed doors, they are strongly against war because they lose from it. And such a change in the situation on the front, of course, can greatly affect these people and make them act a little more actively.
