Vladimir Putin is reportedly preparing a contingency plan in the event that Russia sustains more losses in the war against Ukraine, sources have said.
Russia's presidential administration sent an instruction manual to the Kremlin's team of propagandists, urging not to 'underestimate' Ukraine's planned counter-offensive and not to spread the idea Kyiv is not ready for it.
Ukraine's strategy is thought to focus on the eastern side of the Dnipro River, near Kherson city.
Infiltration of the area is an attempt to dislodge Russian forces from positions they are using to shell Ukraine-held Kherson.
Independent news outlet Meduza - which obtained a copy of the manual - said the aim is to provide Russians with morale regardless of the outcome of the attack.
'If the offensive is unsuccessful, it will be possible to say: the army [of Russia] skillfully fended off an attack that was superior in power.'
But should the Ukrainian military take back territories and achieve victories 'with the help of weapons from the US and Europe,' then Russia's losses should be 'understandable' as they were up against the 'entire West', the sources said.
Propagandists are advised to use material to show citizens that Russia is upgrading buildings, hospitals and schools in its territory, rather than shooting funds into new ones.
'It's clear there will be problems with the economy, and it's clear why. Spending on the "special military operation" isn't going anywhere,' a source close to Putin said. 'It is better not to show in specific amounts how much was taken [for the new regions].'
It is a rapid turn from last year, when spin doctors tried to convince the population that Russia was on the way to revitalising itself as a grand empire as it takes control of Ukraine.

Nicely done, ya’ Dimwit 🤡
I am so relived that Pootin has a plan B, just in case things turn to sheeeet for the Roooskies in Ukraine.
Ya always gotta have a plan B, C and D. Call them fallback plans. Backup plans. When Shyte hits the fan, plans. Whatever.
I expect to see these claims and excuses show up here on Free Republic, as soon as the guys in the block house in St. Petersburg gets the go-ahead.
If Russia were to actually lose this war, Putin would not need a Plan B, the next step for Putin in that scenario is he gets removed and is never heard from again.
Doesn’t every government have this plan? Is this really news?
Eisenhower wrote out a statement apologizing for the utter failure of the D-Day landings and taking full responsibility for the Allies’ defeat on the beaches of Normandy.
Not all Guptas are related, ya rayciss dunce! Though you might have stayed in a Gupta motel last night.
The democrats are using Ukraine to cook the books. This thing isn’t ending until after 2024.
He’s a member of The CNN Guptas, just like you are a member of The Dimwits.
I have a feeling Ukraine’s going to try a wild surprise attack, because Russia’s already fortified southern Ukraine and the entrance to Crimea.
Something more like a suicide attack on Russia’s fleet in the Black Sea while loading and sending all troops available on all the fishing/fleet vehicles in Odessa to Sevastopol in a beachhead invasion to try to force a peace and get territory back. The real difference maker will be how many subs get blown up by NATO armament on the Migs they send.
It’s that kind of “heroic desperation” that NATO loves and its far better than trying to fight a war of attrition across Russian fortification, getting another 50k Ukrainians killed.
This is a total joke.
No counter offensive and Russia is defeated? The Ukes got their asses smoked in Bakhmut.
I am sure by now, Russia probably figures the same. But please remember. NATO is not involved here. This is not a NATO war. /s
As Joe Biden said whenever he goes into a 7-11 he’s always served by an Indian person.
>I am sure by now, Russia probably figures the same. But please remember. NATO is not involved here. This is not a NATO war. /s
I just hope that God in heaven is not planning to allow Biden to drop a nuke somewhere. I love playing Fallout, not living it.
diaper brain biden is suggesting throwing nukes at each other
I’m sure Russia isn’t planning for a defeat. Nukes would fly before that ever happens. Just more of the sleazy propaganda you like to post.
The most important thing happening in St. Petersburg is the Rays are 24-6, and first in MLB in practically every statistical measurement.
Oh, wait a minute..
Putin is in no rush to end this conflict now. It behooves him to keep this conflict going, as the goal now has switch to drain the U.S. & Nato of resources, both militarily, & monetarily.
Question is, does Zelenskyy have any plan whatsoever? We are constantly being bombarded about the Ukraine counter-offensive that is coming soon to a theater near you, to show what a marvelous hero Zelenskyy is.
The realities on the ground are much different.
But hey, let's keep throwing good money after bad, as we have been doing for decades now, so we can destroy the U.S., which of course, is Biden's true goal, or at the least the leftists who really are running this country.
You are such a brilliant person. 🤞
