"They can go to the Kremlin": Zelensky told what Putin was afraid (video)

To spread: Kremlin head Vladimir Putin is afraid not so much of the military defeat as the internal pressure from Russian society. It is the fear of mass mobilization and dissatisfaction with citizens that forces Moscow to pay more contractors, thus replenishing the reserves of the Russian Armed Forces. In an interview with AXIOS, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about what fears pursue Putin in the context of a lasting Russian-Ukrainian war.

During the interview, the question of the advantage of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in live force was raised, which allegedly makes it easy to replenish the loss at the front. However, Zelensky disagreed with such conclusions. "At the very beginning of a full -scale invasion of three and a half years ago, they (in Russia) had a certain format of mobilization. But when they realized that its popularity began to fall through official mobilization, they stopped it and began to pay.

It was a very important point," Zelensky said. He stressed that the lack of elections and democratic mechanisms does not make Putin omnipotent and some fears of the dictator still. "This means that he is afraid of his society. They can go to the Kremlin and remove it. It is because they do not want mobilization. They are afraid to die. And this war is not even in their territory, but in Ukraine," the Ukrainian president explained.

According to him, Kiev has a record of conversations of Russian military at the front: soldiers complain to families, cry and confess in fear of combat. But "they can do nothing, because if they do not go forward, they will be killed. " Zelensky also noted that the US can play a decisive role by increasing the sanction pressure on Moscow and limiting its financial capacity. "America can promote global sanctions to weaken the Russian economy and not give Putin so much to pay.
