Regular attacks on Moscow and other regions of Russia are gradually creating a crisis of trust in the Russian leadership as a guarantor of security.

Political analyst Ihor Reiterovych said this in an interview with Ukrinform, commenting on internal sentiment in Russia amid Ukrainian strikes on the Russian capital and other regions.

According to him, increasingly critical posts are appearing in the Russian information space, including from so-called “military correspondents,” who question the authorities’ ability to ensure security even in the capital.

“The logic there is as follows: fine, there is a war, attacks can happen. But the authorities should at least explain something to society,” the expert noted when commenting on such posts.

He cited examples of harsh rhetoric in Russian media channels, where questions are being raised toward the Russian president regarding the lack of response to attacks, as well as speculation about possible alternatives within the political system.
