From Vilnius, the political adviser to Alexei Navalny, Leonid Volkov, reacted to the change announced by the Kremlin in its military strategy in Ukraine, claiming to "drastically" reduce its military operations in kyiv and Chernihiv.
Leonid Volkov believes that the master of the Kremlin, who initially planned a "blitzkrieg" against kyiv, now admits that he failed, but "too late": despite Vladimir Putin's "very powerful propaganda", Leonid Volkov assumes that this failure will be very difficult to justify to the Russian population.
A month after the start of the Kremlin offensive in Ukraine, the Russian army admitted to having lost 1,351 men.
Leonid Volkov adds that a "change is taking place" within Russian society: "The Russians will realize that something has not happened according to the initial plan".
