Anger against President Vladimir Putin is increasing in Russia. He is being trolled fiercely on social media for the past few days. These things have increased rapidly since the Ukrainian army attacked the Kursk region of western Russia. According to the New York Times, FilterLabs AI, a company that analyzes the sentiments of the Russian public on social media, said that Putin’s popularity has declined after the Ukrainian intrusion in Kursk. The intrusion of the Ukrainian army is being seen as a failure of the Russian government and especially Putin. The report states that the Russian government media tried to present Putin’s image in a positive way in the events related to the Russia-Ukraine war, but they have failed in this. Russian citizens have openly expressed their displeasure on social media. People are calling Putin’s war policies a failure and demanding his resignation. Putin’s popularity had declined after Prigozin’s rebellion
Putin’s popularity declined after the rebellion led by Yevgeny Prigozin, the chief of Russia’s private army Wagner Group, last year. However, Putin later overcame it. Now after the success of the Ukrainian army in Kursk, Putin’s popularity has again declined. Ukraine retaliated against Russia on 6 August for the first time in two and a half years by entering its territory. Since then Ukraine has captured 1263 square km of Russian territory in two weeks. The Ukrainian army has penetrated 28-35 km inside Kursk. So far Ukraine has captured 92 villages in Kursk. Russian territory captured after 82 years, now demand to change war policy
Ukraine claims that Ukraine has captured more land in 2 weeks than the area captured by Russia in 8 months of 2024. This is the first time after the Second World War that any country has captured such a large area of Russia. This is the reason why Russian people on social media are demanding a change in war policy from Putin. They say that the attack on Kursk has created fear among the people. According to the report, there is still a positive atmosphere for Putin in the capital Moscow because the government has strict control over the media there. They keep creating an atmosphere in favor of Putin. But in the rest of the country, disappointment towards the Kremlin is increasing. American officials said that it is too early to say how much damage this will cause to Putin’s image. They said that a similar situation had arisen for Putin during Prigozin’s rebellion, but after suppressing it, his image improved rapidly.
