< p _ngcontent-sc140="" class="news-annotation">Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, Ukrainians have been expecting protests against the war. However, this did not happen, because there is a rather large army on the territory of Russia.
Igor Yakovenko, a Russian opposition journalist, said this for Channel 24 . He noted that the authorities of the world will put the security forces in order to disperse the rallies.
“They were needed way more in Russia than in Ukraine. Therefore, now there are still a large number of armed people who are ready to destroy millions of protesters. There are machine guns, shells, grenades. There will be enough weapons for everyone,” the journalist said.< /p>
Everything depends on the security forces
According to Yakovenko, the National Guard and the FSB faithfully serve Putin. Therefore, there will be no protests.
There will definitely be riots when part of the National Guard being destroyed on the territory of Ukraine ceases to be true to the path. At this point, the riots will begin. Just like it was in 1991, when people stopped tanks with their hands. The security forces should feel that it is not clear what they are defending,” Yakovenko believes.
Escape from mobilization
The journalist said that in Russia a significant part of the population supported Putin. However, after the announcement of shared mobilization, this may change dramatically. The Russians will not flee to Belarus to hide from mobilization.
“I think only crazy people will flee to Belarus, where 100% of them will be captured and extradited. The Belarusian dictator is definitely ready for this service” , – Yakovenko said.
He added that Europe is mostly closed now for Russians, so they will flee to the countries of Central Asia. In particular, to Armenia or Georgia.
