Putin cannot justify the war: ISW analysts said that the President of the Russian Federation spoiled

Analysts said that the departure of Russian troops from the Kiev region and other northern regions of Ukraine at the beginning of the war does not allow Putin to declare victory. Russian President Vladimir Putin is not sure of his ability to form the Russian information space. Yes, it is faced with increasing criticism against the backdrop of the ongoing war. Analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW) reported.

According to analysts, this is about Putin's decision to postpone his annual appeal to the meeting of the Russian Federation. The Kremlin's head may appeal to the Federation meeting in 2023. Putin's last appeal to the Council took place at the end of April 2021. At the same time, as stated in the report, the departure of Russian troops from the Kiev region and northern Ukraine in April, probably, spoiled Putin's plans to declare victory.

He is still waiting and hopes to prove a grand victorious speech in 2023 or delay the moment when he has to admit that Russia cannot achieve its goal in Ukraine by military means. More stated in ISW, Putin is not sure that he can justify the war with some global goals. Victory could allow all human losses and material losses. However, after the occupation of the Lysychansk Luhansk region in July in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation there were no significant victories - only defeat.

So, as it is reported, the departure of Russian troops from Kherson has aroused many imperial ideologues who began to doubt Putin's ability to create "great Russia". Earlier, Focus wrote that Putin canceled all the public events before the New Year. In the Kremlin, without explanation, they refused to hold a "straight line" and Putin's speech before the Federal Assembly.
