They are increasing payments to the mobilized: what scenario are Russians being prepared for? Dzvenislava Moshovskaya

Russian politicians and propaganda media They are preparing their citizens for a protracted war against Ukraine. They claim that difficult times may begin in Russia, but this must be endured, because the aggressor country allegedly aims to destroy our state.

Political scientist Oleg Lesnoy told 24 Channel that Dmitry Medvedev says that Russia’s goal is to stop the existence of Ukraine as a state. He claims that even after the truce, his country must continue to destroy our state.

Russia's goal

Oleg Lesnoy noted that all Russian propaganda is aimed at convincing its population of the need to continue fighting.

In Russia, they are increasing payments to those who want to go to war. They are already running out of prisoners and volunteers, so it is necessary to force the residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg to join the army,” the political scientist emphasized.

In his opinion, such Russian rhetoric is a response to soft NATO position. Recently they announced the irreversibility of the Ukrainian path to the Alliance, but did not directly say that they were inviting our state to become a member of this association.

NATO did not indicate Russia is in its place, so Medvedev says they have a deadline to destroy Ukraine. But it is already difficult to scare Ukrainians – everyone understands that this is a war of annihilation. “Either we are them, or they are us,” said Oleg Lesnoy.
