Kremlin TV Airs Call for Russia to Admit Serious Defeat

Brutal realizations have been raining upon the Kremlin s top propagandists and when it rains, it pours. The same pundits who used to threaten NATO countries with nuclear strikes are begrudgingly acknowledging that Russia s Armed Forces have suffered a series of humiliating setbacks in Ukraine.

Appearing on Russia s NTV show The Meeting Place on Monday, policy analyst Viktor Olevich surmised: Unfortunately, the situation is difficult. Can we say that the Russian forces moved closer to meeting the goals and carrying out the tasks set by the president at the beginning of the special operation or did they get further away? Obviously, we re now further away.

Bogdan Bezpalko, member of the Council for Interethnic Relations under the President of the Russian Federation, was even more outspoken. For two months, Ukrainian Armed Forces and military equipment have been massing in that area, all Telegram channels have been writing about it. Where was our damn reconnaissance? All of their heads should be laying on Putin s desk, hacked off at the base… Of course, this is a tactical defeat. I hope it will be very sobering.
