Dec 12, 2022 Russian leader Vladimir Putin made the biggest mistake of his life by invading Ukraine! Reactions against Putin's rule in Russia are growing every day! Soldiers in the Russian army have also started to revolt. Russia is experiencing the most chaotic period in its history! Experts say Russia is in grave danger!
So how did the process turn out like this? How is Putin, who wanted to bring about the end of Ukraine, bringing about the end of Russia? What danger is Russia in?
Let's answer these questions one by one!
First of all, we need to rewind our calendars a little bit and take a look at the situation in Russia before the war started. Russia entered this war in a crisis. In February, just before Russia invaded Ukraine, inflation figures started to rise. Reactions against Putin in Russia were increasing day by day. It was thought that Putin had reached the end of his political career. Russia was failing in other countries too!
Russia was the loser in the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. In Syria, the Assad regime, backed by Russia, was losing power. In Crimea, demands for freedom were rising again. Russia was losing in all regions.
The Eastern bloc, led by Russia, was allegedly in collapse. Putin wanted to show his own people and the whole world that he was still strong. In this way, he planned to regain popular support in Russia. But it was a very bad plan.
Putin did not realize that this plan was a very bad plan because he was very confident in the strength of his army. He could not have predicted that the Ukrainian army would have such a great success.
Putin's faulty plan was the beginning of the end. Mistakes followed one after another.
The Russian army was completely unprepared for this war. Russian soldiers were suddenly sent to fight this war. But most of the soldiers did not want to fight! The Russian soldiers were terrified. Russian generals could not manage this fear. The Russian soldiers began to revolt!
At the beginning of the war, these mutinies were small and individual. But as the war continued, the rebellion of the soldiers grew. Because the Russian army was not ready for a long war. The needs of the soldiers could not be met.
First, the salaries of the mercenaries started to be withheld. The soldiers who could not get their salaries in this war where there were so many deaths became very angry. Dozens of Russian soldiers said they would not fight anymore. Russian soldiers protested by burying their weapons in the ground! The speech of the soldiers who buried their weapons in the ground attracted great attention in Russia. Because the speech of the Russian soldiers was very striking. In this video, Russian soldiers say the following:
"This war is not our war, it is Putin's war. Putin started this war only to increase his own wealth and maintain his power! Too many soldiers are dying here. But none of our needs are being met. Our salaries are not paid, we cannot send money to our families. We are treated very badly here too!"
“Russia is experiencing the most chaotic period in its history! Experts say Russia is in grave danger!”
Islam Elizade is exaggerating. This Russian crisis is nowhere near the chaos of the Bolshevik Revolution, nor of the first year of Germany’s Operation Barbarossa (1941-1942).
Putin has major problems, no doubt; and the Russian people are probably done with him. And, one way or another, Putin’s days as the head of Russia are numbered.
“Ukrainian doctors for saving the lives of people”
Yes. the Ukrainian docs save lives of Russian military as well as Ukrainian soldiers. There are multiple videos of Ukrainian soldiers covering & providing pain medication in the field also.

Here is the link to the cartoon showing Putin waging war on Santa because Santa refuses to give Putin Ukraine for a Christmas present.

Lots of exclamation points in that article. One would become breathless reading it aloud.
