Kremlin head Vladimir Putin does not accept defeat in the war against Ukraine. He and his entourage are afraid of a possible reaction of their citizens.
In Moscow, for almost 7 months they were convincing the Russians that the “special operation” was going according to plan. Political strategist Mikhail Sheitelman told Channel 24 about this.
The expert is convinced that Putin and his associates cannot admit defeat in the war for a number of reasons.
To do so is to admit that they failed to manage Russia. After all, they have been saying for almost 7 months that the “special operation” is going according to plan. If they would have said in the first week that they were mistaken and underestimated Ukraine, that “we are doing something differently,” it would have been a different conversation with them,” the observer explained.
According to him, if the head of the Kremlin admits defeat now, he will also admit the lie to his people all these 7 months.
“This is unacceptable for them. Because this is a loss of power,” Sheitelman summed up.
