How Putin reacted to the loss of ships: Gudkov suggested what is really important to the dictator

Ukrainian military destroyed the enemy large landing ship “Novocherkassk”. This is an unpleasant incident for Putin.

Channel 24 told about this Russian opposition politician Gennady Gudkov, noting that the destruction of the Novocherkassk large landing ship is an unpleasant loss for Putin. It influences Russia's military image.

What is Putin's plan now

As Gudkov noted, the Kremlin is now pursuing one main line. And they blame all their failures on her. Now they are working hard to retain the temporarily occupied territories.

They have now taken this course. No matter what happens, they say they are holding their ground. There they want to make sure that people talk to them. The Kremlin's main line is aimed at retaining the occupied territories. And in case of negotiations, pass off defeat as victory. Propaganda will do the rest, says Gudkov.

Despite this, for Putin, any frozen war, as a result of which he will be on the occupied Ukrainian lands, is a victory. He will pass it off as an “outstanding achievement” to his population.

So losing a ship is not a good thing. But he may be indifferent to this, as well as to human lives. The only thing that matters to him is power. He considers it the only condition for preserving his own life, says Gudkov.
