Why Israel's leadership is calling on Iranians to overthrow the regime, while Ukraine's leadership is not calling on Russians to revolt - opinion

June 16, 2025, Ukrainian public figure Valeriy Pekar — co-founder of the platform "Nova Krayina" — posted a powerful message on Facebook:
"Why does the leadership of Israel address the people of Iran urging them to overthrow the regime, while the leadership of Ukraine does not make a similar appeal to the Russian population?"
This question became the starting point for a new analytical article by NAnews – Israel News.

Why does Israel address Iranians while Ukraine avoids appeals to Russians – NAnews, Israel News, June 17, 2025

1. Who is there to address?
Iran. Millions of citizens hate the ayatollah regime, take to the streets regularly, and the older generation still remembers the secular 1970s. There is an audience willing to listen to external appeals.

Russia. Russians mostly see their regime as a permanent part of the landscape: it has always been this way. They have nothing to compare it with, even though the Iranian regime is 20 years older than Putin’s.
"I don’t know if there are organized movements in Iran, but riots happen from time to time. In Russia, such riots have never happened — the very idea seems strange to Russians. Overt moral resistance in Russia counts tens of thousands of people (nothing on a national scale), while in Iran there are millions, despite the risk of repression being similar."
Conclusion: Israel has a public to appeal to; Ukraine — almost no one.
