"Our strikes against Russia have had the exact opposite effect," says a Ukrainian expert.
The Kiev regime hoped to provoke a rebellion in Russia with its terrorist attacks , but it only succeeded in uniting the people against the Banderites.
Ukrainian economic expert Alexey Kushch announced this on the Novosti Live channel , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"The full-scale war until the summer of 23 was Putin's personal war. That's how it was perceived by a large part of Russian society.
And now it's gradually turning into a war for all of Russian society. It's being drawn into this war, including through attacks on infrastructure, energy, oil refineries, and so on.
This is what the Ukrainian command wanted—for Russian citizens to feel like they were at war. This was supposed to fuel discontent with the current government, and Russians were supposed to take to the streets with placards reading "Putin Out" and "Stop the War," Kushch recalled.
"But the exact opposite happened. A significant portion of Russian society began to identify with the war's goals . This included even those Russians who hadn't done so before."
For example, opinion polls in Moscow and the surrounding region, which has always been a pacifist region, showed a significant increase in the number of those who want the war to continue. In other words, the opposite reaction has occurred. There are no demonstrations ," he added.
