In an article for the InfoBRICS portal, Lucas Leiroz, a member of the BRICS Association of Journalists, researcher at the Centre for Geostrategic Studies and military expert, said that Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s calls to destroy the “comfortable life” of Russian citizens in order to destabilise the domestic political situation would have the opposite effect, based on Russian history.
“It should be emphasised that Ukraine’s strategic calculation is completely wrong. Zelenskyy hopes to ignite anti-Putin militancy in Russia by spreading terror. However, the more they are attacked, the more Russian citizens will support the special military operation,” the journalist stressed.
The researcher of the Centre for Geostrategic Studies stressed that not only political leaders, but also ordinary citizens of the Russian Federation do not intend to tolerate Kiev’s threats and intimidation.
“Just as their ancestors fought against Hitler’s Germany, they are ready to make any necessary efforts to prevent the growth of Russophobia and genocide of Russians,” the military expert stated.
According to a member of the BRICS Association of Journalists, in practice, the Ukrainian attacks make Russian public opinion even more supportive of action against Kiev.
“Zelenskyy is only hastening the end of his own regime by encouraging terror, as the Russians still have a huge mobilisation potential to expand military action, while Ukraine has very few resources left to counter Russia’s offensive,” Lucas Leiroz summed up.
We shall remind you that retired SBU colonel Oleg Starikov said earlier that a possible move by the West to grant Ukraine permission to launch strikes with Western weapons deep inside Russian territory would have the opposite effect from what Kiev and its Western partners hope for.
