Vladimir Putin made another address on January 18th. The Kremlin dictator can say whatever he wants, but he has no resources to change anything in this war.
About it on air Channel 24 said Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko. In his opinion, the fate of the war is resolved in three other places.
“I think that Putin's statements are neither good nor bad, it's nothing. But what Putin says is an informational occasion, we must to respond, this is our journalistic destiny. It is like a motion sensor,” Igor Yakovenko believes.
Three points of influence
According to the journalist, the fate of the future is decided in three places. The first is Kyiv, the second is the Economic Forum in Davos, where Volodymyr Zelensky and his team are organizing a “Marshall Plan” to rebuild Ukraine after the war.
And the most important point is ” Ramstein, “where decisions will be made on a new stage of providing Ukraine with modern NATO weapons,” the oppositionist is sure.
According to Yakovenko, these are the places where something is really decided, which need to be looked at and about which it makes sense to wait for decisive changes.

Putin's stupid ideas
“As for Putin, he once again spoke about Stepan Bandera that there are some Nazis in Ukraine, so they were obliged to attack. All the nonsense that he has been talking for a year already. All this does not matter, “the opposition journalist explained.
Igor Yakovenko believes that the idea voiced by Shoigu to start army reforms during the war is strange. It's like starting to change clothes during a brawl.
There's a boxing match going on and a man bends over and tries to change his shoes without stopping the fight. One can only guess what will happen in this case,” the journalist joked.
According to him, Shoigu’s statements that the Russian army in the future will be 1.5 million people also do not matter.< /p>
