How many Russian soldiers should die in Ukraine for Russians to riot? Military expert Chernyk answers

He expressed this opinion on the Espreso TV channel.

"There is an important political point. In my opinion, Russians are not capable of a revolt from below. I do not believe in it, and it has never happened in history. The only successful case was the Bolshevik revolt. However, it was organized by the elites led by Lenin for German money,” Chernyk explained.

According to the expert, social tensions in Russia can be used by the elites to remove Putin from power.

"Today, the Russian Federation is safely mobilizing more than 30-32 thousand personnel every month. In May, the Defense Forces set a record for the destruction of the occupiers - 39 thousand personnel. If we assume that 50-60 thousand invaders are killed every month, this will indeed lead to a very powerful social tension in Russia. This social tension can be used by one of the Kremlin's towers to remove Putin from power. I want to remind you that such an attempt has already taken place. Prigozhin did not rebel against the Kremlin on his own. That is impossible. He was provoked, forced, or motivated by some group, I think, in the FSB,” he added.

• Over the past day of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Defense Forces destroyed Russia's aircraft, over 1,000 servicemen, and dozens of pieces of Russian equipment.
