Putin hopes for useful idiots
The Kremlin plays on Ukrainian weaknesses. Which are known

The terrible Putin, who always outwits everyone, has come up with a complex plan that will lead to the West leaving Ukraine... This is what many Ukrainians are afraid of. And this plan is actively supported by Russian propaganda through the constant promotion of theses that the West will definitely leave Ukraine this week.
The same terrible and insidious Putin fires missiles at the Ukrainian energy infrastructure and immediately tries through his propaganda to organize protests in Ukraine against the authorities due to the power outage, hoping that this will lead to the resignation of Zelensky and hoping that Zelenski will start negotiations under the pressure of energy blackmail.
A very terrible and insidious plan. Which is hard to see from afar. Yes, indeed, in Ukraine, unfortunately, there is a certain percentage of people who do not see the connection between the blackout and the previous shelling, especially since Russian propaganda is used to working with people who have conspiratorial thinking. However, there are not so many such idiots. And it will not lead to any political protest. How did all these protests, which Putin's friends in Ukraine tried to organize even before the start of the war, and now they are trying to organize in Europe at the time of global warming, which does not want to freeze at all, led to this, especially since there was a huge gray area before the war. And now everything in Ukraine is more than transparent and black and white.
All these conspiracy theories are based on the fact that people expect other people to have some terrible and crazy plans. But such plans do not exist. Because they wouldn't work, because with a huge number of chains, something would always go wrong, and a huge number of participants would lead to the fact that everyone around would know about all these plans a long time ago. Everything is always much simpler.
But what about Putin. Spanish student from Saint Petersburg. Here is Elon Musk, the extraordinary genius of our time. First, he buys Twitter, which for him is a suitcase without a handle and everyone says he is buying it only to bring Trump back and help him win the elections. And then he brings Trump back through a manipulative poll, actually a referendum, because any social media poll is manipulative, especially when you have millions of bots. Like any referendum. Ask the British people about that, where public opinion already thinks that Brexit was very stupid. That's why Musk hastily held his referendum. This is a brilliant combination. Nobody understood anything. A complicated plan. Very complex. Nobody guessed. Twitter advertisers will love this.
And everything is really simple. Putin hopes for useful idiots. And they directly say that some bars take electricity. And Russian rockets are of no use here. Because my great-nephew's godfather has an acquaintance, whose ex is now dating the sister of a cleaner from NEK Khmeljnicki, and they saw how electricity was sent to Poland by railcars. And Russian propaganda again clumsily tries to divide Ukrainians. Everything they did a long time ago. Directly. Sincerely. How they directly and openly steal toilets. And this is not part of a more insidious plan.
Putin plays on our weaknesses. Which are known to us. And the main thing is not to play with him. Including looking for a black cat in a dark room when the lights are off, especially if there isn't one...
