Vladimir Putin’s ally has turned on the Kremlin blasting the tyrant “t’’s absolutely impossible to defeat Ukraine using those resources and colonial war methods.”

A former politician blasted Putin Russian TV saying that the Russian “military is failing and their country is in trouble” after a humiliating defeat in Kharkiv Oblast where Ukrainian forces have pushed back Russian troops near to their border.

Russia has been taken by surprise amid Ukraine’s counteroffensive which has rocked the Kremlin’s foundations.

Last week Putin said that Russia “has lost nothing” over the “special military operation” in Ukraine, despite more than 80,000 troops having been annihilated in fierce fighting.

Speaking on Sunday, the former state Duma deputy, Boris Nadezhdin, said, “People who convinced President Putin that the special operation would be fast and effective, we won’t strike the civilian population […] these people really set all of us up.”

Life comes at you fast: pundits on Russian TV realize that their military is failing and their country is in trouble. They are starting to play the blame game.

He was then asked if these people definitely existed, he replied, “Of course, the president didn’t just sit there and think, ‘Why don’t I start a special military operation?’”

Nadezhdin added, “Someone told him that Ukrainians will surrender, that they’ll flee, that they’ll want to join Russia.

“Someone had to be telling him all this.”

He continued, “It’s absolutely impossible to defeat Ukraine, using those resources and colonial war methods, with which Russia is trying to wage war using contract soldiers, mercenaries, no mobilisation, a strong army is opposing the Russian Army, supported by the most powerful countries.

“I’m suggesting peace talks about stopping the war, and moving on to dealing with political issues.”

State Duma deputy Sergey Mironov concede, “this is a serious army and their weapons are serious.”

He added, “War is war, you can’t predict everything, but we have the will to continue until our victory.”

State Duma member Alexander Kazakov, argued that Russia has been dealt a “severe psychological blow” amid Ukraine’s successful counteroffensive.

He  turned on the “non-comrade” Nadezhdin, and warned him, “I again urge you to watch your language.

“To talk about ‘colonial wars’ even in passing is unacceptable in this instance.”
