Zelenskyy Releases Secret Russian Documents on Putin's Falling Polls

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has released what he claims are intercepted secret Russian reports, alleging they expose a profound internal crisis within Vladimir Putin's administration. These documents, purportedly intended for the Kremlin's top leadership, indicate a steady increase in public disapproval of Putin, projected to reach at least 33% by the State Duma elections on September 20.

Simultaneously, support for the ruling United Russia party is reportedly collapsing, fueling concerns about a dangerous wave of protests across various regions. Zelenskyy presented these confidential projections on his Telegram channel, highlighting growing anxiety within the Kremlin regarding the country's internal stability as Russia approaches a critical political juncture.

The intercepted documents offer a classified and candid assessment of Russian public sentiment leading up to the parliamentary elections. "The so-called projected indicators of Russians' dissatisfaction with Putin will continue to grow steadily," Zelenskyy stated. "He has already begun to get used to the idea that this increase in dissatisfaction cannot be stopped and that the indicator will not level off before September, when the elections are scheduled."

The so-called projected indicators of Russians' dissatisfaction with Putin will continue to grow steadily. He has already begun to get used to the idea that this increase in dissatisfaction cannot be stopped and that the indicator will not level off before September, when the elections are scheduled.

According to the data obtained by Kyiv, internal Kremlin analysts estimate that by September 20, 2026, only 55% of the Russian population will approve of Putin's actions, while a historic 33% will explicitly express disapproval, with the remaining 12% undecided. Beyond the president's image, the United Russia party faces a significant legitimacy crisis, with secret reports noting a "constant downward trend" in popular support. Kremlin strategists reportedly acknowledge in the documents that maintaining control of the State Duma will require "significantly more falsifications" and electoral manipulation than in previous cycles.

Zelenskyy emphasized that these alarming projections for Moscow were calculated before the full impact of the summer's military and economic realities. "We believe that these reports do not even take into account potential events in June, July, and August, which cannot but further affect the situation in Russia," he noted. The reports allegedly detail a concerning rise in "protest spirit" in key Russian regions, attributing the morale collapse to desperate regime decisions.
