The head of the Kremlin has less “room for maneuver” to correct the position of the Russian Federation against the backdrop of the war, Bloomberg believes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is left with no way to change the unfortunate course of the military invasion of Ukraine. The Bloomberg news agency reported this in its material on Thursday, November 10.
The order for the Russian invaders to retreat to the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region is a serious setback on the battlefield, the news agency said.
The media added that Putin himself was not present at the televised meeting when his defense minister Shoigu and commander-in-chief of the occupying forces Surovikin announced the withdrawal of troops.
The Kremlin is reluctant to link the president to defeats that contradict his claim to “include Kherson and three other Ukrainian territories forever,” the report said.
In addition, Putin’s decision not to attend next week’s G20 summit in Indonesia shows that the Russian dictator’s diplomatic influence is waning.
Here, the head of the Kremlin regime risks facing harsh criticism of the invasion of Ukraine from US President Joseph Biden and other world leaders.
The Russian President can count on the diplomatic support of Chinese leader Xi Jinping or Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, the Indian and Chinese sides also expressed dissatisfaction with Russia last week. Xi Jinping has warned against any use of nuclear weapons, and India’s foreign minister has made it clear in Moscow that developing countries are in “extreme pain” as war exacerbates food and energy insecurity.
At the same time, “so far there are no signs that Putin is ready to give up and ask for peace, but his room for maneuver is still narrowing,” Bloomberg reporters said.
As you know, on November 9, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered the withdrawal of troops from the right bank of the occupied Kherson region.
