Russian nationalists called angrily on Sunday for President Vladimir Putin to make immediate changes to ensure ultimate victory in the Ukraine war, a day after Moscow was forced to abandon its main bastion in northeastern Ukraine.
The swift fall of Izium in Kharkiv province was Russia's worst military defeat since its troops were forced back from the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in March.
As the defeats unfolded, the Russian defence ministry on Friday posted video footage of what it said were troops being sent to the Kharkiv region. Putin, who has described his shock on being told as a KGB spy in East Germany that "Moscow is silent" as the Berlin Wall crumbled, said those who had fallen in the Ukraine operation had given their lives for Russia."They're taking the piss," wrote one prominent, pro-war military blogger on Telegram, who posts under the name of Rybar.
Girkin, who has been unsparing in his criticisms of the country's top brass, dubbing defence minister Shoigu "the cardboard marshal", has said repeatedly that Russia will be defeated in Ukraine if it doesn't declare a nationwide mobilisation.
