Statements by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin claiming that the Russian military is supposedly winning the war against Ukraine are already beginning to irritate Russians. This is discussed in a new article by the Financial Times.
The FT noted that, according to a new poll, Putin’s approval rating has fallen to 69%. This is the lowest figure since the Russian army’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
However, the Russian public is directing most of its discontent not at the Kremlin leader, but at the ruling United Russia party, of which Putin is not a member.
Currently, United Russia’s approval rating stands at around 30%. Ahead of the Russian State Duma elections, scheduled for September 2026, Putin has decided to align himself more closely with United Russia.
He spoke at the party’s 23rd congress. At the same time, “United Russia” referred to itself as “the president’s party” for the first time since 2007.
The FT article states that Russians are annoyed by Putin’s claims that the Russian military is winning the war against Ukraine. Every day, they see the consequences of airstrikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on military and strategic targets within Russian territory.
Russians cannot buy gasoline or diesel fuel for their cars, as there has long been a shortage of these fuels. Furthermore, the Russian occupation army suffers enormous personnel losses every day without having achieved anything of substance on the front lines.
At the same time, Putin stubbornly insists that Russian troops are winning the war.
