Mobilization in Russia: latest news
- After Putin announced a partial mobilization throughout the country, the mood in society was greatly shaken. Many Russians are outraged by such a statement, they are scared and do not want to become “cannon fodder”. Information began to appear on the network that an all-Russian protest was to take place on September 21 at 19:00.
- Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that 300,000 reservists would be called up. The first wave will include men under 35 with combat experience. I wonder why the “large” Russian army needed reinforcements if they have practically no losses, and “90% of the wounded are already ready for battle”?
- Mikhail Podolyak reacted to Putin's appeal to the Russians and assured that everything was going well “according to plan”. Also, Daria Zarovna, adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, joked that a new “packaging of Russians” had begun.
- The United States and Britain also commented on Russian mobilization. US Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink said that the United States will be with the Ukrainians for as long as necessary. The British Ambassador noted that Putin still does not understand the situation in Ukraine.
