Putin is against mass mobilization in Russia, – media/Channel 24 Collage
Mass mobilization may soon be announced in Russia. However, the Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin does not agree to this yet.
The reason why this is now so is already known. This was reported to Bloomberg journalists on June 14 by anonymous sources.
Why Putin has not announced mobilization yet
According to these sources, Putin strongly opposes open mobilization. Like, this will mean a public recognition of the war, which is not going “according to plan.” That is, it will deny the paradigm that Russian propaganda is building. But mobilization may be necessary to achieve the goals.
Analysts admit that Russian forces may be enough to capture the Luhansk region. However, in order to achieve slow progress in this direction, they already have to attract a very large resource. However, if successful, only part of the tasks that Putin set at the beginning of the invasion will be completed.
Russia will not be able to capture the Donbass
However, Putin will not stop the offensive in the Donetsk region. The fact is that he needs to reach the administrative boundaries of this region. In this case, he will be able to start a dialogue with the West about the “cease” of fire. The opportunity to replicate one's “victory” in a special operation is also important.
However, if fighting for Severodonetsk has been going on for several weeks, this is a very bad sign for the Russian army. After all, they want to take control of a city without much strategic importance, when there is still Lisichansk nearby, which will be much more difficult.
Director of the Estonian International Defense and Security Center Indrek Kannik spoke in this regard. According to him, Russia will need “at least another 2-3 months to capture the major cities in the Donbass, such as Slavyansk and Kramatorsk”.
But it is worth noting that everything may not be quite so, even with a significant technical advantage of artillery and other equipment. After all, Ukraine is starting to receive more Western weapons. Consequently, the Kremlin may need a new plan.
Russians are advised to think about protecting their rear
Analysts note that Russia has lost a very large number of tanks and armored personnel carriers. In particular, she was forced to dive into stocks of used equipment, including T-62 tanks from her Eastern Military District.
Part of the old arsenal could be devoted to security and other purposes behind , as it will run into problems if deployed to the front, Bloomberg wrote.
