Before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, was sure that he was right and would win.

However, at the moment he feels his loss.

Russian political scientist Dmytro Oreshkin said this on the air of the FREEDOM TV channel.

He recalled that two years ago he wrote that "Putin is a loser."

"In my opinion, he is a loser in strategic terms, because he chose the strategy of the country's development that leads to a dead end. He followed the Soviet rails, restoring the Soviet vertical, forgetting where these rails lead," said Oreshkin.

From the time when Putin began to destroy state institutions of the Russian Federation, parliamentarism, a free press, and independent courts, it became clear that he would lead the country to a dead end.

As soon as the president of Russia began to pretend to be the leader, it became clear that the country was headed for a dead end.

"And in this sense, he is a strategic loser. He chose the wrong pocket, if you can call it a billiard term. Of course, no one believed me before, because the idea that Russia was rising from its knees dominated. But it seemed obvious to me that Putin was offering the a model of development that does not arouse the interest of modern nations," Oreshkin noted.

Putin, according to the expert, advocates the so-called Slavic "Russian peace".

According to the dictator and his entourage, Belarus and Ukraine are one nation.

"In reality, this is not the case. Normal people follow the European system of values, because it is more interesting, richer, more diverse, it is more attractive in the sense of technological, scientific, any other development. But Putin, as a representative of the Chekist class, wants to live in a "scoop "because these Chekists were then the masters of the country, the Chekists and the party nomenclature compete with each other. As soon as he made this choice, it became clear that he would drive the country into a dead end," the political scientist shared his opinion.

In the end, Putin lost, because he led the state not just into a dead end, but on a bloody path to an inevitable disaster.

"Putin chose the most direct path to disaster.

And this is also natural.

If under Yeltsin and Gorbachev, the huge inefficient economic model of the country disintegrated peacefully, relatively peacefully, not without blood, but with a minimum compared to what is happening now, then Putin decided to return the Soviet realities and made this disintegration even more inevitable and much bloodier.

And now, of course, he's a loser.

He was going to defend himself from NATO, but he got 1,000 kilometers of border with NATO countries.

He was going to raise the "Russian world", but he made it toxic.

Was going to increase the number of Russian citizens, but reduced it.

"I was going to raise the prestige of Russian weapons, but I let it go deeper than ever," Oreshkin said.

As a reminder, due to the Russian Federation's war against Ukraine, the USA introduced personal sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense  ,

Kyrylo Budanov

 , claims that Putin was assassinated after the start of a full-scale war against Ukraine.
