“Here is an excerpt from Strategy Page one of the better independent military analysis and comment websites:
The main propaganda problem for the Putin strategy is the growing opposition of civilians in Russian occupied Ukraine. Currently Russia is trying to find enough local collaborators to allow convincing propaganda videos. This effort is disrupted by the widespread and often violent resistance to the occupation, local collaborators and efforts to stage a fake election.”
Truth.
The Russian population is & has been against the war in Ukraine.
Quite true. Russia’s military is experiencing troop shortages and the avoidance of service and deployment to Ukraine. In addition, corruption, hazing and brutality, the lack of a reliable NCO corps, and the poor conditions of military life depress morale and combat motivation.
