Not the number of losses: what can change Russians’ attitude towards war

The Russian population is not at all worried about the huge losses among the occupiers, because they do not even feel sorry for their own citizens. However, territories, even foreign ones, are very important for Russians. Therefore, the deoccupation of Crimea may change their attitude towards the war against Ukraine and the Putin regime.

This opinion 24 Channelvoiced by Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko. Also, according to him, protests by the wives of mobilized Russians are also unsafe for the Kremlin.

Russians have a lack of empathy

Igor Yakovenko noted that for Russians more than 300 thousand liquidated occupiers do not matter at all. In addition, in Russia they are very proud of the number of deaths during the Second World War, so perhaps this is the situation now.

But there is Another problem is the complete lack of empathy among a significant part of the Russian population. There are many cases when they don’t even feel sorry for their own son or husband. Lack of empathy affects not only strangers, but also loved ones, he explained.

However, territories have always played a big role for Russians, especially when it comes to the temporarily occupied Crimea. When the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberate the peninsula from occupation, this may be a significant reason for Russians to think, especially for the invaders who are at the front.

“I am sure that the de-occupation of Crimea will make a “click” in the heads of primarily the military, which will force them to admit that the war is not only meaningless, but also harmful. Putin started the war. Crimea was “lost”. The question arises: is the king real, is it time for the army to rebel? I think , such an obvious understanding can creep into their heads,” the oppositionist suggested.

Also in Russia, the movement of mobilized squads is actively spreading, which can lead to more active protests. /p>

Protests of the wives of the occupiers: the main thing

• V At the end of November, the wives of the mobilized put stickers on the windows of cars, where they used the symbols of the invaders – the letters “Z” and “V” and wrote that they “fucked up.” They are not capable of going out to protest, so attempts to show their discontent are as stupid as everything else in Russia.
• On December 2, Russian media reported that in the city of Ulyanovsk the security forces were called “to talk” to at least four mobilized relatives. According to one of them, she was told about responsibility under the article “on discrediting the army.”
• Recently, The Guardian wrote that the movement of women mobilized Russians continues to gain momentum. Russian women demand the complete demobilization of their men and make claims personally to Vladimir Putin. They note that civilians should not participate in hostilities. Women threaten that the number of fans of the movement will increase.
