"There is no other choice": Putin can mobilize hundreds of thousands of people soon - the media

Journalists write that US President Joe Baiden's sudden visit to Kiev became a test for Putin, who plans to speak on Tuesday. A year ago, the Kremlin head believed that he would be able to capture Kiev, seeking to restore the empire of Peter the First. The material states that in his speech Putin is likely to prove that he not only allegedly saves Ukraine from "Nazism", but also saves Russia itself from NATO's capture.

He almost probably calls his war a battle for the restoration of Russia's historic lands. The publication writes that it is still unknown whether Biden's visit to the Ukrainian capital will influence Putin. The text was likely to be prepared in advance. However, language will be the first appeal to the nation since 2021. Analysts believe that last year he missed it, because he lacked good news against the backdrop of Russia's failures on the front.

According to journalists, many people now expect that this language will include various manipulations about the event that allegedly wants to destroy Russia. "I believe that President Putin's appeal will not bring anything good to Liberals," Konstantin Malofeev said, a Russian business magnate and a well-known supporter of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to him, Putin allegedly understands what he is doing because "we have no other choice now.

" At the same time Tatiana Stanova, a senior researcher of the Carnegie Foundation for the International World, said Putin could be very "cruel". It may be played by the so -called "hawks" that support the war with Ukraine and stand for the "victorious end". Earlier, Focus wrote that Putin's message was announced in the Russian Federation. According to Russian journalists, "strange banners" appeared on the streets of Moscow with a date on February 21.
