This is another very significant statement by Igor "Strelkov" Girkin. Girkin historically criticized Putin from the right. He is still in jail, but his wife publishes these statements on his behalf. He points out that once Russia begins a full mobilization, the society will collapse.
He stated the following:
For more than two years, we have been losing personnel, mobilized recruits, and volunteers, and we are farther from victory than at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine."
It has become clear that: a) money is running out; b) meat is running out; c) the enemy has learned to fight."
During this time, Ukraine has strengthened, while Russia has only weakened — you cannot break the enemy by capturing a few hundred destroyed houses."
Putin's ruling circle is not capable of reforms and sacrifice, because the country must make the sacrifice, not them."
Revolution is inevitable — it is better if it happens from above, but hope is slim: we have not just a club of old people, but a gathering of old hedonists. They operate the meat grinder until resources run out, then mobilization will happen, and after that — collapse," says Girkin.
