Russian propagandists began to change their rhetoric. They are already preparing the population for the fact that Russia will have to withdraw from the annexed territories of Ukraine, and this will not be a defeat in the war.
One of the regular «experts» of Solovyov’s show, the «political scientist» Serhiy Mikheev stated: «What they call the defeat of Russia, let’s assume the return of new territories that they consider Ukrainian.
Well, let’s say you got them back. What next? This is not Russia’s defeat.»
Solovyov himself, remaining optimistic, added that «if there are failures at the front», millions of people will «stand under the gun» themselves.
But, most likely, at least one million more people will leave the territory of Russia, not in the direction of Ukraine.
