Donbass Commander on Russia’s propaganda difficulty

“Many of them can not believe that they are in the “Nazi” Ukraine! And when they see dignified resistance and acts of self-sacrifice, which stereotypical “punitive” troops can not have, much is changing in their minds. This is already happening. Guys participating in negotiations told me about this,”- said Semenchenko.

“Primarily for this reason, Putin’s army will not sustain a long war. They will not find the answer here to the question of what they are dying for. But we have that answer!” – added the commander of the Donbas battalion.

I think this is true, but believe it’ll stop Putin’s mercenaries is wishful thinking.
