Russian officials called back to "universally recognized" borders: in ISW called the reason
According to American analysts, as a reason for such an appeal, Russian officials called the situation caused by the destruction of the Kakhovka reservoir in the Kherson region. The document, which refers to the long-term influence of the destruction of the dam on the planet's ecosystem, health care and economy, was signed by representatives of local authorities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, as well as Moscow and Leningrad regions.
The letter also stated that the actions of President Vladimir Putin after February 24 last year led to catastrophic events, but does not specify what is being said. These consequences are also not mentioned as a reason for the withdrawal of troops from Ukraine.
Analysts have suggested that officials not related to the Kremlin may use the concern of society about the environmental and humanitarian consequences of the hydroelectric power station to express their opinion about the war in Ukraine without criticizing military action. "Russians who adhere to anti -war sentiment can use the destruction of hydroelectric power plants to express their disagreement with war in a very limited form," the report reads.
