“Partial military mobilization is a solutionthan the president of Russia Vladimir Putin takes it as an extreme measure, he doesn’t like it and he knows it. Actually already we have a real war, with all its signs and characteristicsThe former ambassador of Bulgaria to the US, Elena Poptodorova, told News.bg after the announcement of the partial military mobilization in Russia.
This is a last resort and recognition for Putin’s inability to organize his armed forces in a certain waythat yes defends the territories occupied by Russia. This was a measure that was already in the attention of observers and analysts that could happen, Poptodorova explained.

According to her, what will happen is Putin to come forward grip on society, because there are enough unfavorable measures that have been taken – with the introduction of military censorship, a hallmark of fascist politics. “The Russians will now understand that this is a war and not a special military operation as long as they have followed the events on their television screens. Now the war has entered their homes in a more brutal and aggressive waybecause the partial military mobilization decision means this fathers, sons, brothers will be a conscript army at the frontPoptodorova pointed out.
She is of the opinion that a coup would be logical behavior in other countries with a different culture. There will certainly be similar reactions in Russia too, but there are two considerations that make it a less likely development: there is no leader and brilliant leader, and no structuring of any opposition force. There is a very visible and clear feature of the Russian attitude as a whole in matters of war and peace. Russian culture has always been cultivated in the consciousness of the siege. The Russian has lived for decades with the feeling that he is constantly surrounded and threatened by some external threat. The feeling of an external threat is consciously cultivated in Russian attitudes, Poptodorova explained.

“Putin yesterday made it clear that external forces want to destroy Russia. This is as far from the truth as anyone knows and can imagine. This is a crazy statement and serves Putin’s quest to establish himself as the ruler of Russia, “she commented.
Poptodorova noticed this the closest thing to reality to dethrone Putin is that some kind of palace, an internal coup must be prepared. A general national revolution seems impossible to me due to the very autonomous role of the regions, Poptodorova said. However, it does not rule out a palace coup to oust Putin.
He warned that the threat of a relapse war on the outside was real. Moldova is the first countrythat comes to mind, but these are also the remaining frozen conflictswho have always been provoked and supported by Russia. What we call frozen conflicts can become a source of real hot warPoptodorova pointed out.
According to her, it is impossible to cause military conflict with NATO countriesbecause any attempt to invade and enter the territory of a NATO country, it will trigger a collective reaction. Putin himself understood this well and, moreover, his ambition is to consolidate the so-called “New Russia”. What is disheartening is this Putin does not consider Ukraine and Ukrainians as a nation and thinks it is just an enlarged Russia. The main actions will be in Ukraine, but I do not rule out a spill in those areas where the Russian presence is disputed, Elena Poptodorova also said.
