opinion | Ukraine: nothing to lose and everything to gain

Nothing to lose. The Russian people have nothing to lose from a defeat in Ukraine. What is he at risk? Ukraine has no territorial designs on Russia. Volodymyr Zelensky never claimed to “denazify” Moscow. Ukraine only wants us to respect its sovereignty and its democratic choices. How does this bother the Russian people? In nothing.

Nothing to lose. The Russian army has nothing more to lose from a defeat in Ukraine. The humiliation she is already undergoing is imposed on her by Vladimir Putin, he who made believe that his army was invincible, while the country is undermined by the corruption and incompetence of its elites. Instead of acknowledging his mistakes, Vladimir Putin is enlisting more Russians in a hopeless adventure. Such humiliation, it’s time to put an end to it. Why would Russians who did not choose the profession of arms die far from home? Because their president does not know how to get out of an impasse he has put himself in? The more the Russians refuse to fight and resist mobilization, the sooner this absurd and bloody war will end. Who in Russia wants to die for the Donbass, for sham referendums carried out with guns in hand and in the face of which even the paper elections that are held in Russia have more allure? What does this mean? To nothing.
