The general mobilization in Russia will end in protests, because no one will want to fight for the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin.

Dmytro Gudkov said about this in an interview with DW.

"As Putin pretends that this is not a war with Ukraine, but a "special operation", most people pretend that they support the "special operation". But only instead of supporting what is shown on the screen, they will be forced to go to Ukraine already with a machine gun in their hands, then nothing will remain of this support," said Gudkov.

In his opinion, the Russian command may follow the path of mobilization, but the result will be absolutely the opposite.

"I think it will end in protests, because no one wants to fight for Putin," Gudkov said.

According to him, no one among the Russians sees any sense in this war.

"Except for some absolutely hawks, supporters of the empire. There are not many of them, I think 10-12 percent of them in the country," - a confident politician.

He noted that the situation in the Russian Federation cannot be corrected by a single law or incantations from the screen.

Putin spent 22 years building a corrupt criminal regime and thinks that now he will fix everything with one law, the oppositionist noted.

"He won't fix anything. Just screwing up the nuts. It just gives a reason to imprison someone not even for looting, most likely, for not following orders. It means they don't want to follow orders. And why don't they want to follow orders? , they are criminals. Secondly, these orders will simply lead you to the other world. When you are sent as cannon fodder against a professionally trained army with normal, accurate weapons. You do not obey the order because you will be killed," Gudkov said.

We will remind, the adviser of the President's Office, Oleksiy Arestovych, said that "referendums" and mobilization in the Russian Federation will not have any consequences.

Previously, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has repeatedly stated that in the event of pseudo-referendums in the occupied territories, Russia will close any possibility of negotiations with Ukraine.
