Wallace voiced his assumptions/Channel 24 Collage
Ben Wallace, the British Minister of Defense, stressed that he would not be surprised if Vladimir Putin announced a general mobilization on May 9. The head of the Kremlin can do this allegedly for the war with the “Nazis”.
At the same time, Wallace stressed that he did not have specific information about this. Although the statement of the Minister of Defense scattered around the world after publication in The Daily Mail. There, Wallace's words were first presented as fact.
I won’t be surprised, although I have no information about it, if he (Putin – Channel 24) is going to announce on May 9 that we are now at war with the Nazis of the whole world, and we need to carry out a mass mobilization of Russians, – the minister emphasized.
Wallace stressed that Putin had been laying the groundwork for this for a long time. Pathetic attempts are now being made in the Kremlin to hide the real losses.
The Minister also noted that mass mobilization would indicate “an admission of failure.”
