Russia will sell Mariupol to its people as a victory/Channel 24 collage< p _ngcontent-sc86="" class="news-annotation">The Russians broke into the territory of the Azovstal plant in Mariupol. Thus, the Kremlin dictator Putin is preparing to “report” before May 9 to the citizens.
Or at least to himself. Military expert Sergei Zhdanov said this on air on Channel 24.
I think that the main success that he will “sell” to the Russian society is Mariupol. Unfortunately, Zhdanov said.
He added that even though they did not finish capturing the Azovstal plant, the occupiers planned to hold a parade on May 9 in another district of the city.
< p>“There are no more victories today. Even in the direction of Izyum, this is more our victory, the fact that we survived and continue to stand almost in the same positions,” the expert added.
“Russia is not ready to announce war to the whole world”
At the same time, despite all the rumors and talks, the Kremlin head is unlikely to announce mobilization on May 9th. Zhdanov believes that this will not happen. They will only “blow up” Russian society and general sentiments.
However, hidden mobilization will go on, it is gaining momentum. Perhaps they will even declare martial law in the border areas. The official declaration of war is a huge question.
“The official declaration of war entails that all UN member states must immediately stop all relations with Russia. Russia is not ready for this,” the military expert said.
Russia is not I’m ready to take a “headshot” on myself, I don’t think they are ready to declare war on the whole world,” Zhdanov summed up.
