"Putin from the offensive goes to defense": military experts about the meeting of the President of the Russian Federation with military

The Kremlin chairman has traditionally stated that Ukraine is allegedly standing in the Kakhovskaya Hydroelectric Power Plant in the Kherson region. At the same time, Putin noted that he "regret" that he, he said, "broke the offensive of the Armed Forces. " "Unfortunately, it broke them [Ukrainian] counter -offensive in this direction. Unfortunately - why? Because it is better for them there. It is better for us because it would be very bad for them.

If such spill happened, then, then, then, then Accordingly, the offensive did not happen, "the President of the Russian Federation said. According to his version, Ukraine was purposefully and repeatedly beat Himars rockets. Another option from Putin - at the station allegedly there was some "bookmark" of the Armed Forces. "Maybe they had a bookmark there, I don't know now. They may have added something once again - something insignificant. And the destruction went," the Russian leader said.

At the same time, he could not explain why Ukraine to blow up the dam in the place where the Ukrainian military was allegedly planned. "I do not even know how to comment on this delusion. ". At the same time, he himself points out that it was because of the undermining of the dam was allegedly not a counter -offensive of the Armed Forces," - says the former employee of the Security Service of Ukraine Ivan Stupak.

Thus, the expert believes, Putin, trying to confuse the population of the Russian Federation, himself confused in his versions and issued a dubious justification for the Kakhovsky catastrophe. This is not the only casual moment of Putin at a meeting with militarycorn. For example, the Russian president reported that the Russian Federation lost 54 tanks during the Counter -offensive of the Armed Forces, which, according to him, began on June 4, and Ukraine - allegedly 160 tanks.

Not only did Putin incorrectly pointed to Ukrainian losses, he also exceeded Russian losses. "Oryx's independent monitoring group publishes the loss of both sides of the war, and they have not noticed a biased attitude. Even according to their data, Russia has lost in the last few weeks up to 8 tanks, not 54, which Putin spoke of. If without irony.

, the President of the Russian Federation is not young for a long time, and perhaps he has read something from his leaf or calculated something incorrectly. If he has increased the loss of his own army, imagine how many times he overstated the loss of Ukraine, " - says Stupak. Asked by the so -called "military" on the shelling of the Russian territory by Ukraine, Putin suggested to create a zone that, in his opinion, would not allow to attack the territory of the Russian Federation.

"If it [shelling of the Russian Federation] continues, then we must consider the question - I speak very carefully - to create a sanitary area at the territory of Ukraine at a distance from which it would be impossible to get our territory," Putin said. At the same time, he stressed that this is a separate issue that needs careful consideration. A military expert, a reserve colonel Petro Chernik believes that such rhetoric Putin proves that Russia has moved from the offensive to defense.

"We need to be very careful about what Putin says. All this rhetoric is aimed at one thing - to consolidate their own population. They [Russians] suffered strategic losses in Ukraine and they need to find a model how to get out of this situation. Here they are trying To offer something - a conditional "sanitary zone", which in the future will allow to end the war. Such rhetoric in strategic terms has only one sign - Putin from the offensive goes to defense, " - says Focus Chernik.

According to the expert, the "sanitary zone" is something like a buffer area where there is neither weapons nor armed confrontation. Such an area, for example, exists between South and North Korea. "It is a search for a certain formula, how to get out of the shame they have driven themselves. For Ukraine it means nothing. We absolutely. We have one philosophy - to free our territories. Everything," - concludes the colonel of the reserve.

Vladimir Putin also confessed that he did not monitor the mobilization in the Russian Federation. At the same time, he referred to "some public figures" that "it is necessary to recruit another million, two million urgently. " "Our troops were in Kiev. We need to go there or not? I rhetorically ask, it is clear that you have no answer to him. I can only answer him. But depending on what goals we set, we have to resolve the issue of mobilization.

Well, there is no need today, "Putin's militarycorn told. Political scientist Igor Reityrovich called such a statement by the Russian President logical, since all studies conducted in the Russian Federation were publicly or hidden on the topic of attitude to mobilization, showed an extremely negative response of the population. "On the one hand, the Russians agreed to partial mobilization, which is formally over, although we all understand that it is in fact continuing, but in another way.

All these methods are not mass and public, the population humbly silently. But if it is declared yet One wave of mobilization or even a full call, it will not benefit the ratings of the Russian authorities, which are not superfluous, ”says Focus Reitrovich. The Kremlin has some fears that mobilization will cause social tension, a flurry of negative comments and enhance migration processes or Methods of evasion. That is why Putin says there is no need for mobilization right now.
