Putin Admits He Is In Danger

This is a fundamental psychological shift.

Russia has changed its tactics regarding the Ukrainian capital. Air raid sirens sound up to 13 times a day; the enemy is attacking Kyiv and its suburbs, striking critical infrastructure, shopping centers, and warehouses.

It is no coincidence that all this is happening precisely when Putin declared that if he does not bring victory to his people in Donbas, then he will be hanged. Irish journalist and documentary filmmaker Kailin Robertson spoke about this on “Channel 24” Irish journalist and documentary filmmaker Kaylin Robertson noted that today the Russian dictator appears flustered.

Why Putin Was Scared

It had been so long since Vladimir Putin had sat across from Indian leader Narendra Modi and looked very tense and flustered, while Modi essentially told him: “Stop this war—everyone is tired of it.”

For 25 years, Putin has carefully cultivated his image as a serious statesman. He was photographed at the controls of fighter jets, on horseback, aboard aircraft carriers, or seated at long tables facing military commanders. This entire image was carefully crafted.

“Now he acknowledges that he is in danger. This is a fundamental psychological shift. Putin realizes that the noose is tightening around him due to Ukraine’s strikes. He knows he must demonstrate at least some kind of result to those around him,” the journalist explained.

This is one of his few honest admissions, but that doesn’t mean he’ll capture the Donbas and stop there. He’ll continue the aggression.

It’s important for Russia to terrorize Kyiv

As for the strikes on Kyiv, the most terrifying thing is that air raid sirens sound practically every hour. Missile and drone attacks continue nonstop in the city. Right now, Kyiv looks like a frontline city, as if Russian troops were only five kilometers away.

“I just returned to Kyiv from the frontline city of Kramatorsk. Now these cities look almost identical. The most dangerous thing is that people have already started calling this the ‘new normal,’” added Kaylin Robertson.

This is very dangerous, as it leads to the normalization of terror that repeats itself every day. Russia is carrying out attacks on civilians and infrastructure. Seven railway workers were killed recently. These are deliberate attacks on civilians intended to intimidate people.

“When Ukrainians wake up every morning after such attacks but continue to live, work, or do what they love, that is resilience. But when the rest of the world goes about its business as if nothing is happening, that’s no longer resilience—it’s acceptance of terrorism. These are completely different things,” the documentary filmmaker emphasized.

In the past, a missile strike on Kyiv would make headlines. Now it’s just another notification on a phone. People are getting used to it, but that doesn’t mean it’s normal. That is exactly what Russia is counting on. It wants people to consider terror the norm. It’s counting on fatigue, on everyone getting used to it.

“Russia is striving to have its actions perceived as something ordinary or compared to Ukrainian strikes. Ukraine carries out attacks on warehouses in Russia that finance the war. Russia launches drones at Kyiv every day, hits residential buildings, destroys railroads, and kills railroad workers. These things cannot be compared,” the journalist added.

As for claims about Russia’s alleged potential use of nuclear weapons, they should be ignored. And Russian representatives should not be invited to international events. Anyone associated with the Russian government must be completely isolated and not taken seriously.

The only thing worth paying attention to in the statements of Russian authorities is the missiles and drones they launch at Kyiv on a daily basis, as well as their crimes against civilians. Actions speak louder than words. After all, listening to Russian statements about peace agreements or threats is a waste of time.
