The Russian population did not perceive the war for a long time Ukraine as the cause of its own problems. However, transformations have begun to occur in the aggressor country and citizens are drawing certain conclusions.

Representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Andrey Yusov analyzed 24 Channelhow problems affect public sentiment in Russia. According to him, there are a growing number of people with Russian passports who link the deterioration of life, inflation and infrastructure degradation with Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

More details about the conclusions of the occupiers

Yusov emphasized that accidents on Russian heating mains, blackouts of light and heat are not the work of spies or saboteurs, this is the degradation of the Russian economy, in in particular, the housing and communal services systems.

Russia spends money on the production of weapons and payments to the military, and not on preparing for winter frosts. As a result, large-scale damage throughout the entire territory.

If we talk about incidents with “flying objects,” they occur exclusively at Russian facilities associated with Russian aggression, and generally do not directly affect the civilian population. However, the effect of presence, when more and more residents understand that war is creeping ever closer, certainly has an effect, noted Andrei Yusov.

If Russia were a civilized and democratic state, there would be consequences others would be protests against the war and a mass anti-war movement. However, the Putin regime is a dictatorship and a totalitarian society. Consequently, for now we can state the increase in passive discontent, which was facilitated by the winter period.
