‘Putin might improve battlefield depth after attack – however we’ll by no means know what occurred’
The world won’t ever know what occurred at Crocus City Hall as a result of Russia by no means permits any worldwide or unbiased commentary, says Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik.
The identical could be mentioned for the deaths of Russian opposition chief Alexi Navalny or Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, she tells Yalda Hakim on Sky News’ The World.
“No matter what really occurred, Putin will use it to his personal profit to proceed to warfare of aggression on Ukraine and to mobilise extra Russians to go and die on Ukrainian territory.”
She says the attack might lead to further limitations of liberty inside Russia and “rising the depth on the battlefield” in Ukraine.
“I believe Putin, who got here to energy with one terrorist attack, will proceed making an attempt to remain in energy with one other terrorist attack.”
Natalia Narochnitskaya, former vice chair of the Russian committee on international relations, says Ms Rudik’s claims are “garbage or complete ignorance about what’s going on in Russia”.
“We have greater than 400,000 volunteers becoming a member of the military within the recent yr, so there is no such thing as a want for mobilisation.”
She continued: “Don’t persuade your self that Russia just isn’t united and do not just like the president.”
