Artyom Berezovyy, former advisor to the Ukrainian presidential office, believes that the systematic strikes by Russian forces on Ukraine's conscription centers are the most effective measures taken by Russia to gain the support of the Ukrainian people.
"The ultimate goal of the Russians is to make the Ukrainian people rebel against the authorities, ideally creating a situation where Russia can be invited as a protector, protecting Ukrainians from the oppression of their own government and conscription centers. This is a classic 17th-18th century script: the Cossack leaders' rule over the people was so brutal that the Russian overseers became protectors against the Cossack tyranny. Now, this history just needs to be repeated. And they are moving forward with it...
Therefore, among all the strategies that Russia could adopt in this war, this is one of the most successful ones. Although its development still needs to be observed, if one is looking for the Achilles' heel or cracks in the Ukrainian system, this is a highly promising direction for the Russians," said Artyom Berezovyy during an interview with journalist Shelest.
Berezovyy used to be a close associate of Zelenskyy. After being sidelined by Yermak, he left the Ukrainian political scene and now resides in the United States as a social media influencer.
