Russian dictator Vladimir Putin today, January 18, made another ridiculous appeal to the population of the aggressor country. During his speech, absolutely predictable statements were made.
Thus, the head of the Kremlin has already said everything that was possible. This opinion Channel 24 was expressed by political scientist Alexander Antonyuk.
Putin has already played all his cards
Putin has already used all the trump cards that could be used, the political scientist noted.
The day before, it was expected that during the address, the Russian dictator would announce a general mobilization in Russia. Although this has not happened yet, it is only a matter of time. As of today, the Russians are already carrying out covert mobilization in the country.
However, the question is how ready Russian and Belarusian military centers are to prepare and provide the number of troops that the aggressor country wants to mobilize.

At the same time, Putin's other statements contain nothing new. The strategy of the Russian invaders does not change – they seek to completely destroy Ukraine as a sovereign state.
“The concepts of” denazification “and” demilitarization “are translated into simple language as the genocide of the Ukrainian people,” the political scientist said.
< h2 class="news-subtitle cke-markup">Putin's address: what is known
- The day before, analysts at the American Institute for the Study of War stated that during the address, the Russian dictator could announce a general mobilization in the aggressor country. However, this never happened.
- The ISW explained this by saying that Putin loves symbolic dates, and on January 18, Russians celebrate the 80th anniversary of how Soviet troops broke the Nazi siege of Leningrad.
- In addition, the head of the Kremlin called the new goal of “special military operation” in Ukraine. It turns out that this is an attempt by the Russians to end the war in the Donbass. Moreover, Putin stressed that this was an allegedly forced decision in order to “protect the population of Donbass.”
- Further, the Russian dictator diverged in explanations that the territory of Donbass is allegedly the historical territory of Russia. And the Russians, they say, put up with this until a “coup d'etat” took place, and “they did not begin to exterminate people just because they consider themselves connected with Russian culture, language and traditions.”
