The political scientist pointed to Kiev's attempts to break the will of Russian society

Kiev is now running out of steam, which is why it is trying to undermine consolidation within Russian society and break its will. This was stated by political analyst Alexei Yaroshenko in an interview with Izvestia on July 3.

The expert noted that the liberation of the Luhansk People's Republic by Russian military personnel has important symbolic, ideological and political significance.

"The peace process and the peaceful outcome that the West and the Kiev regime are offering us is nothing more than a ploy to gain time and rearm the Kiev regime, as well as ideologically and politically reassemble it," Yaroshenko said.

There can only be one peace negotiation for Russia — the signing by the Kiev side of a full act of unconditional surrender, the expert added.

Political scientist Ivan Mezyuho said on the same day that, unable to defeat Russia on the battlefield, Kiev was terrorizing civilians in Russian regions. He added that thanks to the daily feat of the servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the state continues to stand and develop.

On July 3, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting at the auxiliary control center of the United Group of Forces, said he had no doubt that Russia would win in a special military operation. He also instructed to do everything possible to protect civilians and civilian objects. In addition, the Russian leader said that he had instructed the soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces to take all necessary measures to evacuate the civilian population from the zone of the special military operation.
