On Tuesday evening, the Russian side reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s speech would be postponed to Wednesday. Initially, it was announced that the speech would be broadcast at 19:00 Norwegian time and that it would address the referendums announced in the Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine.
Retired Lieutenant General Arne Bård Dalhaug thinks there is a good atmosphere in Moscow.
– I guess there is a bit of a bad atmosphere in Moscow right now. The news about the postponement of the speech seems very credible and, if it happens, indicates that there is a great disagreement in the Kremlin on what the main points of the speech should be. Quite simply, Dalhaug tells Dagbladet.
– General Richard Shirreff speculates otherwise News from heaven that chaos has arisen in Moscow. What do you think?
– It entirely depends on what is meant by chaos. I interpret it as meaning that there is a great deal of disagreement within the Moscow leadership as to what the main message of the speech should be. There has to be coverage to say this, Dalhaug says and continues:
– The fact is that Putin’s speech has been postponed. This means that he at least he did not want to invade others by delivering the speech regardless of what is meant. This perhaps indicates that Putin is weaker than previously thought. In any case, it will be interesting to follow in the next few hours and in the next days how it will be followed.

– Awesome
– Have you ever tried something like this?
– No, I remember that some of Putin’s speeches were slightly postponed before Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24th. Furthermore, Putin’s speech in St. Petersburg in June was somewhat postponed. But it is exceptional that such an announced speech does not go as planned.
Dalhaug calls it a difficult speech to deliver.
– It is clear that this is a very difficult speech to deliver. This is because there are really no good solutions to the problems facing Russia and Putin. Yes, of course they can mobilize, but how effective will it be compared to how big is the risk it entails?
