"Putin is no longer a monster, but an outsider." Ukraine is arranged by all the initiatives of the dictator, because they will accelerate the conflict in the Russian Federation - interview with Podolyak

The adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak believes that the initiative of dictator Vladimir Putin, in particular the support of pseudo -referendums in the occupied territories and partial mobilization in the Russian Federation will lead to acceleration of the internal conflict in both the Russian elite and in society. In an interview with Radio NV, Podolyak explained why nothing will change for Ukrainians after September 21, and the Russians will become worse.

- Russia supports these pseudo -referendums, which should pass in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Putin declared partial, as they call it, mobilization - finally brought the war to the territory of Russia. We have already seen the reaction of the Russians: they buy tickets, write that they do not want to fight for Putin's palace. What are the consequences we expect? Video of the day - the escalation of the problem will only grow.

One thing is to fight on the couch, that is, in the sofa troops (in Russia it is a very big story), when they "put everyone on their knees" and so on. And this escalation will gradually grow. It's very correct. You said correctly that they endured the feeling of war directly in the Russian Federation. It's not just somewhere, someone, something, but “we go to restaurants here or go to Egypt, Turkey,” and so on, they will be fixed - they will not be able to leave if they are military.

These are mobilization processes. They will be deprived of certain rights, which is very important because people need to feel in the camp, in full understanding of the word. This is a very phenomenal story. The story of when a person who has low analytical abilities in general has a low intellectual understanding of what is happening in the world, makes a fundamental decision from the seventeenth century - to attack a large powerful army another state, which is technological.

At least I think that we are much different already developed in the intellectual sense compared to the Russian Federation. Ukraine was already different in this sense. I would place a little differently. First, there is no legal formula called a referendum. There is only a propaganda formula called a referendum.

It is impossible to carry out legal action in the occupied army, the occupation administration, where active fighting is going on! And of course, neither international law nor our right, nor any other country, even those countries that recognize something by Russia, does not recognize ["referendums"]. Therefore, in the form of Russia today, it is a purely propaganda action. They have already published even figures what results can get in these territories.

It's nonsense! And it is clear that people will not vote there. There will be no electoral procedure. And in general: why are we talking about it? This is our territory captured by the Russian army! This is a standard occupation process! Therefore, there are no referendums. And any propaganda action is not affected by us. The second component: mobilization or feeling of war. First, we had a sense of war on February 24 in the morning.

And we have a full -scale war so that Russia does not speak there and as it does not call it "its". Do you know why they don't want to call war war? Because there is a completely specific legal term - military aggression. The war in international law is not emphasized, but there is military aggression. And the act of military aggression, if it was unmotivated, there was no reason for it - it is reason to believe that these people committed a military crime.

That is, if Putin would publicly say that "we are declaring war", thus fixing the act of military aggression, it would definitely simplify the next legal claims to the Russian Federation. It would be clear that Putin is a war criminal. Therefore, Putin does not speak of war, but speaks purely about partial mobilization. It is obvious to us that partial mobilization in the Russian Federation goes from April 1 in full. They take the whole possible reserve, recruit, offer any contracts.
