Western analysts report that Russia is preparing a massive new offensive. However, for this, it needs to accumulate a sufficient amount of resources, including human resources.
Political scientist Oleg Sahakyan told about this Channel 24. He noted that Russia is resorting to various methods to delay the supply of weapons and equipment to Ukraine.
Sahakyan noted that Russia understands that the course of the war depends on what will be faster: their preparation to intensify a massive offensive or the supply of heavy weapons to Ukraine. The Kremlin is trying to slow down the processes of supporting Ukraine in order to overtake this race and take advantage of the window of opportunity.
In particular, now the Kremlin is speculating on the loss of more than 400 million euros by France due to refusal to supply Mistral ships to Russia in 2015, we recall that Moscow ordered them in 2010, and France abandoned the agreement due to Russian aggression in the Crimea and Donbass.
Russia does not count losses
Russia does not count the victims at all, the political scientist noted. Therefore, the price of the life of prisoners there is negative. Their upkeep, protection, and feeding costs a certain amount for the Russian budget.
Accordingly, now they dispose of more prisoners, the more favorable the situation is for Russia. They not only do not consider losses, but are also happy to increase these losses,” Sahakyan added.
Credit agencies could become the next wave of supplies mobilized in Russia, the expert suggested.
Russia managed to go on the offensive in some areas, they were able to tie down the Ukrainian forces. And now the enemy is seriously thinking about how to take revenge on them, the political scientist is convinced.
Russia is mobilizing: what is known
- The Russian side has numerous losses at the front, which is why a second wave of mobilization is taking place in Russia. According to military expert Oleg Zhdanov, the mobilized will probably not be trained, but will immediately be sent to combat missions.
- Political scientist Igor Eidman noted that Russia has nothing to equip the newly arrived. Even those 300,000 people who were mobilized in the fall of 2022, the authorities were unable to provide adequately.
- Wagnerites are promised release from prison for participation in the war. However, lawyers say that a franc. What's more, pardon is a rare, time-consuming and complex legal procedure that has never been used in Russia on the scale Wagner touts.
