Russian President Vladimir Putin is preparing a new offensive against Ukraine. However, he has an excuse if nothing succeeds.

Political strategist Boris Tyzenhausen told about this forChannel 24. He believes that the Kremlin is able to convince the Russians of “victory”

“I think that Putin has more than one exit plan. Even when we drive out the enemies to the borders of 1991, he will still create the illusion of victory through controlled media. He will explain what the plan was. Convincing that they saved the residents of Donbass scared the whole of Europe , although 50 NATO countries fought against it. They will say that they completed some secret task and left,” the political scientist said.

He added that the Russians would trust the Kremlin and would again rewrite history. They will talk about how they won the whole world.

Putin has high hopes

Russia is preparing a new full-scale offensive. The head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Kirill Budanov, believes that it will be in early spring. Russia will focus on the complete occupation of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. According to the political scientist, the Russians will not repeat the mistake of attacking from all sides.

Tiesenhausen is confident that the Russians will attack. Recently, the liberation of “legitimate Russian territories” has been heard in the rhetoric of propaganda. According to the political scientist, the occupiers almost forgot about “demilitarization or denazification”.

This is Putin's only chance. It seems to me that he put everything on the map. He will hope for this offensive. If it fails (and it will), then it will not be possible to further drive new waves of mobilized, raise morale, restore lost equipment in Russia, – said Tizenhausen.

Internal disputes affect conscripts

The political scientist said that Putin still has allies he can rely on. The issue is that the process of internal disputes began to get out of control. Tizenhausen noted that it was not by chance that the information activity of Yevgeny Prigozhin and Ramzan Kadyrov was reduced.

“It is impossible in a system where there is a regular army to come from outside and say that no one here knows how to fight. For months of the war, they realized that Prigozhin is leading a destructive element and says that all laymen in the Ministry of Defense. How then should the mobilized carry out the orders of such an army leadership, “added the political scientist.

The Threat of a New Offensive

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov believes that the offensive could begin in the coming days or weeks. According to him, now Russia is gathering everything possible, conducting training and training.

“We have gone through a long difficult period, but I am aware that the main battles are still ahead and they will take place in this year, within two to three months. These will be the defining months in the war,” Danilov emphasized.
