Vladimir Putin e aproape de un moment potențial crucial pentru el și pentru războiul din Ucraina. Avertismentul unui fost înalt ofițer britanic

A former British tank commander warns that a potential general mobilization in Russia could backfire on Putin, leading to increased domestic pressure against the war in Ukraine. Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon suggests that mobilizing 300,000 troops may not only fail to win the war but could also bring the conflict closer to home for the Russian middle class. He draws parallels with the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, highlighting that the loss of lives could provoke significant political consequences. Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Zelensky claims Russia plans to mobilize more troops after September elections, despite Russian denials of such intentions.
