He said that the lack of an adequate response to the counterwar will only confirm the idea of "a strong conscious relationship between Russians and their government." He wrote about this in Telegram, reports UNN.

"The events in the Kursk or Belgorod regions allow us to set up a kind of laboratory experiment. While the repressive machine of the Russian Federation is burning in the bushes, the liberated Russians can come out with flowers to meet the anti-Putin tanks. "Finally, freedom!" Let's wait for such footage. Although it is already obvious that this is impossible," Podolyak said.
Context
On the evening of August 6, the Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that fighting was continuing in the Kursk region of Russia. Reserves of Russian troops have moved in. They said that at about 8 a.m. Moscow time, up to three hundred Ukrainian troops, supported by 11 tanks and more than 20 armored personnel carriers, attacked the positions of the Russian state border guard units.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry, this happened near the settlements of Mykolaiv-Daryino and Oleshnya in the Kursk region, which are adjacent to the Russian-Ukrainian border.
The Russian Defense Ministry claims that the military of the 22nd Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are involved. Suspilne asked the press service of this brigade for a comment. They stated that they were not commenting on the situation at the moment. Neither does the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The United States has responded to the events in the Kursk region of Russia. US Department of State spokesman Matthew Miller said that the United States is in contact with Ukraine regarding the operation in Russia's Kursk region. He added that there is nothing unusual in the fact that "the Ukrainians do not inform us of their exact tactics before they implement them.
