The Illusion of Success: Putin’s False Claims about the Russian Army in Ukraine

Dictator of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, after a year and a half of the war, continues to convince the Russians that “everything is going according to plan.”

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is confident that the Russian army is doing well at the front.

He gave such a comment to the propaganda program “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin”, which aired on July 16, Dialog.UA reports.

Putin, judging by his statements, has a poor idea of ​​the real state of affairs at the front. He unexpectedly announced that in some sectors of the front, the RF Armed Forces allegedly have the initiative at the front and are moving forward. Where this happens, of course, he could not specify.

He described the situation as “positive” for the occupying army of the Russian Federation.

“Our troops are behaving heroically. In some areas, they themselves go on the offensive, take the most advantageous positions, skyscrapers … All attempts by the enemy to break through our defenses … were unsuccessful during the entire offensive. The enemy is not successful“, – said the Russian dictator. At the same time, which is significant, he looked gloomy and tense.

When asked about the goals of the Russian army today, he could not answer.

situation commented Russian blogger Anatoly Nesmiyan (El Murid). He recalled that at the beginning of the so-called “SVO” the same Putin publicly threatened to “demilitarize” and “denazify” Ukraine. Now he does not mention these threats, praising the army for not running in front of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

“The transition between “Kyiv in three days” and “the heroic defense of our troops” took place somehow imperceptibly and quite casually. What is interesting is that it does not raise any questions“, – wrote the Russian expert.

Note that the position of the Russian army in Ukraine is not as positive as Putin says. Experts, including Russian ones, consider the tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which gradually gnaw through the fortified defenses of the frag, to be quite effective. There is no information about the massive use of reserves by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, but the Russian army, apparently, has almost no reserves left, as Z-military correspondents openly say.

Earlier, Strelkov called Putin a puppet.

We also wrote that the Wagner commanders sent Putin to the meeting.
