Russian nationalists rage after stunning setback in Ukraine
The Russian nationalist called angrily on Sunday for President Vladimir Putin to make an immediate change to ensure the highest victory in the Ukraine War, the day after Moscow was forced to leave his main fortress in the Northeast Ukraine.
The fast fall in Izium in Kharkiv Province was Russia’s worst military defeat because his troops were forced to return from the capital of Ukraine Kyiv in March.
When Russian troops left city after city on Saturday, Putin opened the largest passionwelk in Europe in Moscow Park, while fireworks turned on the sky on a red field to celebrate the establishment of the city in 1147.
In a 11 -minute voice message posted to the Telegram Message Application, Chechen Ramzan Kadyrov leader, Putin’s ally whose troops are on the front lines of the campaign in Ukraine, rejecting the loss of Izium, a critical supply center.
If today or tomorrow the changes are not made in conducting special military operations, I will be forced to go to the country’s leadership to explain to them the situation on the ground,” Kadyrov said.
Moscow’s silence that is almost total in defeat – or any explanation for what happened in Northeast Ukraine – triggers significant anger among several Russian Pro -War and Nationalist commentators on social media.When the defeat occurred, the Russian Ministry of Defense on Friday posted video footage about what he said was the troops sent to the Kharkiv region.
Both Putin, who is not the supreme commander of Russia from the armed forces, as well as Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, openly commenting on defeat at midday on Sunday.
We are proud of Moscow, and love this city with a magnificent ancient era and a modern and dynamic pace of life, the charm of the park, the path and path that is comfortable and the number of business and cultural events,” Putin told Muscovite, according to a Kremlin transcript of the message from the message congratulations.
Putin, who described his surprise because he was told as the KGB eyes in East Germany that “Moscow was silent” when the Berlin Wall was destroyed, said those who had fallen in Ukraine operations had given their lives to Russia.”They take urine,” wrote a well-known and pro-battrik military blogger in Telegram, who posted with the name of Rybar.
On Saturday, the ministry announced the “re -unification” which would move troops from Kharkiv to focus on the Donetsk region further east of Ukraine – a statement that made further anger from many Russian military bloggers.
Some Pro-Kremlin War Correspondents and ex and ex-soldiers who have now gathered many followers in Telegram accused the ministry of minimizing the defeat.
Igor Girkin, a nationalist militant and former FSB officer who helped launch a 2014 war in the East Donbas region of Ukraine, compared the collapse of one of the main frontlines of conflict with the battle of Mukden in 1905 – the defeat of the disaster in the Russo -Japan War which circulated in the Russo War -Tan, consisting of Russo -Jepang, triggered the Russian Revolution in 1905.
Ukraine has praised its rapid progress, which made thousands of Russian soldiers escape, leaving the supplies and equipment of ammunition, as a turning point in the 6 -month war.
Girkin, who was not resilient in his criticism of the country’s officials, Moving the Minister of Defense Shoigu “The Cardboard Marshal”, has repeatedly said that Russia will be defeated in Ukraine if it does not declare national mobilization.
Nationalist anger in military failure has the potential to be a far greater problem for Kremlin than a pro-West liberal criticism of Putin: The poll continues to show broad support for what Moscow is called “Special Military Operation”.
When the capital celebrates Moscow Day with street parties and concerts on Saturdays, Remling of Disquiet even spreads to the Russian Parliament which is usually submissive.
Sergei Mironov, leader of the nominal opposition but Putin-Loyal Just Russia Party, said on Twitter that a fireworks show to respect the holidays must be canceled, given the military situation.
One message was re -posted on the telegram by the leading war correspondent Sekyon Pegov called the celebration in Moscow as “blasphemy” and rejection of Russian authority to start a full scale war as “schizophrenia”.
