According to Drozdenko, the dissatisfied “live in hothouse conditions” and do not make a sufficient contribution to “bringing victory closer”; he did not specify which one.
Giving a report to deputies of the Legislative Assembly, he said that citizens should “grit their teeth” and perceive the restrictions as justified.
“We are not in a time when you have to receive rations using coupons and you need to think about how to make ends meet with this small ration in order to survive and bring victory closer,” the official said.
Comparing the current situation with more difficult historical conditions, he said, complaints about communications appear unfounded.
“You and I live here in hothouse conditions, and when someone raises a question on the Internet, then have the courage to tell them to their face: “What have you done to bring victory closer, so that you have a stable Internet?” he added.
In addition, Drozdenko said that the Leningrad region has actually become a “front-line region,” meaning NATO countries. He said that in the first quarter, according to his data, 243 drones were shot down in the sky. Previously, Russian authorities accused the Baltic countries of allegedly allowing Ukrainian UAVs to attack infrastructure in the region.
The governor also noted that warnings about possible drone attacks do not always reach the population. According to him, this is being done deliberately – so as not to “disturb” residents.
