Mobilization to the Russian Army is possible in the occupied Kherson region. The occupiers declared it partially, but everyone understands that it will be massive in the occupied territories.

Kherson activist Volodymyr Molchanov told about this for Channel 24. He noted that in those places that Russia has recently captured, people will be given Russian citizenship without their request.

“Residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions are already considered citizens of a pseudo-republic even without passports, therefore they are subject to forced mobilization. As for the Kherson and Cossacks, everything is much more complicated here. The occupiers do not yet have a mechanism for the forced Russification of everyone in the occupied territories,” Molchanov said.

The Russians don't explain anything

According to the activist, “test military registration and enlistment offices” were created in the Zaporozhye region . They issued summonses only to those who seized Russian passports. The rest have not yet been threatened.

It is not yet known what will happen next and whether the occupiers will dare to declare all Russian citizens and try to mobilize them. The invaders, of course, do not give any explanations.

To be honest, I would like the Russians to announce a general mobilization and this would allow Russia to disintegrate already in this year. All attempts to mobilize the economy and feed the crowd have led to this. Unfortunately, the Russian leadership has not completely lost its mind. I hope that they will not mobilize hostile Kherson residents and leave them alone,” Molchanov added.

How preparations for “referendums” take place

Molchanov said that if we take real preparations for pseudo-referenda, that is, the opening of polling stations, then nothing happens. There is no activity in those areas where warehouses and addresses are known. That's 13 properties across the region.

“All preparations are taking place in the information space. Most likely, there will be no referendum itself, although they stretched it out for 5 days. That is, there will only be some kind of imitation. This is the discovery of unknown mysterious pseudo-sites, which will bring actors who will play the role committee and voters. “, – said the activist.

He believes that the occupiers can drive people to the polling stations if it is a big city like Kherson, where you can find collaborators who want to earn money.

What does propaganda want

The Russians declare support among Kherson residents. It is 80%. Molchanov noted that it is strange hear about 80%, if only 11% of Kherson sent their children to Russian schools.

“No one knows what questions will be raised at the “referendum” – for joining Russia as a subject of the federation or write something else. Propaganda is not aimed at convincing anyone to support Russia, but simply stating the fact that Russia does not care, because it is here forever,” Molchanov believes.

In Russia, the recruitment of prisoners to a private military company run by Evgeny Prigozhin, close to Putin, never stops. At the expense of murderers and rapists, who have nothing to lose, Moscow wants to effectively replenish its personnel and maintain the general combat effectiveness of the army.

Nevertheless, according to Channel 24 sources in Ukrainian intelligence agencies, with the recruitment of prisoners for the war, Russian generals also get a bunch of problems. After all, distributing weapons to people without principles, persecuting them to death as “harmless meat” is not the best idea.

Groups consisting of prisoners occupy the lowest line in the gradation of the Russian army and have a minimum number of rights. They are considered people of even lower grade than those mobilized in the Donbass. Although at the same time, prisoners are much more useful on the battlefield than civilians forced to go to war.

Kadyrovites are being sent to the places where the Wagnerites are fighting

• The Russian military-political leadership, which made the decision to involve the convicts in the war in Ukraine, apparently, is quite clear what quality the detachments of prisoners will be.< /li>
• That is why detachments of Kadyrovites are constantly deployed to the places of deployment of such groups. They were given the task of ensuring that none of the prisoners escaped from the battlefield, and also that they did not retreat back.
• Despite the fact that almost all the prisoners released by Putin for the war are sufficiently motivated and believe that they are going to fight for the truth, the orders of the convicts are usually ignored. In fact, the only ones who can control them are Wagner representatives assigned to the detachments.
• However, in their free time from the war, former prisoners are engaged in their usual activities – theft and robbery. In some places, they arrange raids on representatives of the Russian army, which is desperately looting.

The so-called counter-terrorist operation in Kherson was connected with this, because the Wagner fighters decided to kill the Russian robbers and take everything that they had taken from the civilians. This led to a rather serious battle between the convicts, the Russian military and the Kadyrovites.

The Wagnerians killed several conscripts in cold blood, after which detachments of Kadyrovites pulled up to the scene and called paratroopers to help them. Not without losses, for their part, the latter eliminated some of the prisoners, while others were detained. Only after that, the “tiktokers” crawled out of hiding and exponentially shot the mercenaries.

None of the prisoners will return back

Representatives of the Ukrainian special services claim that the Russian command, even before the prisoners were sent to the combat zone, received a clear order on their mandatory liquidation. So, prisoners who legally escaped from behind bars are going to be put to waste, if not on the battlefield, then during rotations or after the expiration of the contract.

The decision to shoot every prisoner who manages to survive in the war with Ukraine, the Kremlin deprives itself of many problems.

• Firstly, this way, Putin frees up a lot of places in prisons.
• Firstly, secondly, he can not only effectively replenish his army, but also maintain its combat effectiveness at the same level as it is now.
• Thirdly, the Russian authorities are fully aware that no matter how this war ends, the society of the aggressor country will have to face a large number of brutalized soldiers who have returned home. moral qualities, former prisoners, if they appear in their homeland, will definitely lead the most dangerous gangs. The Kremlin dictator does not need such consequences, therefore, all mercenary convicts will be liquidated one way or another.
