In addition, the information that 100% of Ukrainians have a negative attitude towards the occupiers most likely does not reach Putin: they are simply afraid to tell him about it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s entourage does not provide full information about the invasion of Ukraine. In particular, he is not told that 100% of Ukrainians are against the invaders.
Bellingcat investigative journalist Hristo Grozev spoke about this on the air of the telethon.
According to him, Russian propaganda works quite effectively for its audience and literally zeros for a foreign audience – this is the main transformation.
“Compared to 2014, when they managed to influence a part of Western thought, now in Europe there is not a single adequate person who would believe in these fakes. Unfortunately, for the Russian audience it works. It was sad for me to find out that even people, who used the Internet two weeks ago to find the right information, after the closure of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, TV Rain, they simply stopped looking.
Therefore, sometimes getting information from TV, VKontakte, they have a slightly inverted picture. The problem is not that fakes are being made, but that the sources of information were closed,” the journalist emphasized.
Hristo Grozev notes that there is an elite in Russia that is dissatisfied with what is happening. Even for many people from Putin’s entourage, not included in the military list, this war was a surprise.
“Of course, they will have the motivation to change something, using the discontent of the people, which will appear when mothers realize that thousands, not hundreds of their sons are already dead. And we will already be waiting for the protests to be sponsored by the oligarchs,” he said. expert.
Many say that Putin is in an information vacuum. According to the journalist, most of the defeats and failures are not reported to the mountain truthfully.
that something is getting through, but most are hiding from it. Therefore, the information that 100% of Ukrainians have a negative attitude towards the invaders, most likely, does not reach him. They are simply afraid to report it to him,” Bellingcat investigative journalist said.
Hitler had the same problem; if you told him the truth he would fire you or worse and blame you for the failure. I guess they all would rather opt for the Hague or flying from the 9th floor balcony.
It’s a common thing for dictators. The same thing is happening with Xi in China. He’s shot too many messengers (often literally) with bad news that he isn’t being told the truth either.
Dictators always see themselves as know-it-alls and anyone telling him the truth is an enemy.
This does not bode well for this crime-ridden regime. Fear is not a good prerequisite to have a successful war. Such systems NEVER end well.
