On October 20, Putin checked the preparation of mobilized Russians for war. The dictator needed this to show himself in a favorable light, first of all, in front of the army.
This opinion Channel 24 was expressed by Russian opposition journalist Igor Yakovenko. According to him, the visit of the head of the Kremlin to the training ground in the Ryazan region was a PR element.
After all, the dictator did not appear next to the Russian military during the 8 months of the war against Ukraine.
Everyone is promoting as best they can. Putin needed some kind of PR, some kind of demonstration that he was alive. After all, there were also doubts about this,” Yakovenko said.
Putin follows Kadyrov
According to the Russian journalist, the dictator is also trying to imitate the leader of TikTok -troops to Ramzan Kadyrov. He, in a fit of “militancy”, even told tales that he sent his sons to the front.
Putin follows Kadyrov. He is trying to create the image of “father-commander”, “father of the nation”. However, it is not going very well so far,” the oppositionist noted.
The main threat to the Putin regime
Yakovenko added that no matter how much the Russian dictator tries to create the appearance of proximity to the Russian army, in fact, no one believes him. After all, Putin's main enemy is now not Ukraine, but Russian troops . Moreover, they are unhappy even in the Russian General Staff.
Now the crack between the Kremlin and the Russian army has reached its very bottom. The mobilization announced by Putin showed that people are sent to the front without equipment and proper training. Sometimes the mobilized are simply thrown into the field, leaving no possibility of survival,” the journalist emphasized.
He noted that because of this situation, hatred and indignation against their leadership is increasingly manifested among the Russian military. Yakovenko added that this is the main threat to the Putin regime.
Igor Yakovenko told why Putin went to the military: watch the video
Putin put on a show in front of the mobilized: briefly
- On October 20, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, together with the Minister of Defense of the terrorist country Sergei Shoig, went to check the training of the mobilized at the training ground in the Ryazan region .
- During his visit to the training ground, Putin decided to shoot with a sniper rifle.
- However, there is one “but” in this “performance”, which was noticed by InformNapalm . On the video published by the propagandists, it can be heard that someone else is allegedly shooting at the training ground, except for Putin. However, Shoigu was so disgraced earlier – the sounds of shots were simply superimposed.
- Former SBU employee, expert of the Ukrainian Institute for the Future Ivan Stupak noted that all the things that Putin touched at the training ground, including boots, could be under personal control of the Federal Security Service.
