Ukrainian journalist Denys Kazansky has released a video analyzing statements by Russian military bloggers and propagandists about the war against Ukraine. These statements increasingly include claims about a stalemate in the war and fatigue in Russian society.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He announced this in his YouTube video<\/a> .<\/p>\n

According to the journalist, even radical Kremlin supporters have begun to admit that the war is not bringing Russia the expected results. In their speeches, they also talk about the growing public demand for its end.<\/p>\n

In particular, Russian propagandist Ivan Pankin stated that Russian society is tired of the protracted war and more and more people are waiting for its end.<\/p>\n

“Russian society is tired of the protracted war and more and more people are waiting for it to end,” said Ivan Pankin.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he noted that it is difficult to speak openly about problems in Russia, since such statements can result in losing your job or facing criminal prosecution.<\/p>\n

Another Russian military blogger, Maxim Kalashnikov, stated the decline in the reputation of the Russian authorities.<\/p>\n

“The reputation of the Russian authorities has fallen below the plinth,” said Maxim Kalashnikov.<\/p>\n

According to him, one of the reasons was the regular strikes by Ukrainian missiles and drones on Russian regions, in particular on objects in the deep rear. He noted that such attacks demonstrate the weakness of the defense system and negatively affect the authority of the country’s leadership.<\/p>\n

Another Russian war correspondent, Yuri Kotenok, said the war has effectively reached a stalemate. According to him, the Russian army does not have enough forces to break through Ukraine’s defenses.<\/p>\n

“The pace of the offensive is so slow that advancing to major cities could take years or even decades,” said Yuriy Kotenok.<\/p>\n

He also drew attention to the situation in the Black Sea. According to Kotenko, after a series of strikes by Ukrainian forces, the Russian Black Sea Fleet is forced to keep its ships in bays, but even there they remain under threat of attacks by naval drones.<\/p>\n

In addition, Kotenok spoke about technical problems in the Russian army, including a lack of modern equipment, outdated weapons systems, and communication problems on the front lines. According to him, sometimes the military is forced to use wired phones similar to those from the middle of the last century.<\/p>\n
