Head of DIU
According to the head of the DIU, this is why Russia seeks to win the war against Ukraine as soon as possible.
Most Russians are still happy about the military gains. However, in general, society in the Russian Federation is tired of the war, because it has already affected many.
In the summer of 2025, Russia will have problems with military recruitment. Whoever was tempted by payments from the Ministry of Defence and the regions has already signed the contract.
The Kremlin will either have to take an unpopular step and announce a general mobilization, or reduce the intensity of hostilities.
DIU attacks the Russian Federation on land, in water and in cyberspace
Special forces regularly conduct operations on the TOT and the territory of Russia, as well as carry out attacks on Russian services.
On September 12, two important operations were carried out: an attack on banking services and a raid in the Black Sea. As a result, the websites and mobile applications of the largest banks were "downed" by the Russians, they lost personnel on the Crimea-2 platform and the Su-30SM aircraft, and the equipment was damaged.
Ukrainian drones fly into Russian regions almost every night, attacking military facilities and oil depots. Some drones even fly to a distance of more than 1,000 km.
