May choose a smaller target: political strategist suggested Putin’s mobilization plan

In Russia, electronic subpoenas will be sent out starting in November. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin realized that Russia’s war against Ukraine would last for a very long time. To be remembered for a “victory” at the end of his career, a dictator will probably have to choose a smaller target – another country.

This opinion 24 Channelsaid political strategist Boris Tizenhausen, noting that this could be a country that was part of the USSR. However, not in NATO. Let us note that in order to strengthen mobilization in Russia, the departure of those liable for military service from the country will be prohibited. “victory,” then he may have to choose a calmer goal, a smaller goal,” Tiesenhausen suggested.

To militarize Russia, Putin needs to “put in order” mobilization resource. However, for example, automatic summonses in the aggressor country can provoke another wave of departure of citizens. This may be the last such wave.

For the whole world, this is news that Putin is going to either fight here (in Ukraine – Channel 24) for a long time, or then carry out one or two more wars, as many as possible,” said the political strategist.

Russia wanted to take over Ukraine with small forces and change power. If she had succeeded, Tizenhausen is convinced that Western countries would not even have time to impose sanctions against the aggressor country before the dictator would have installed fugitive President Viktor Yanukovych to power.

“The entire civilized world has realized that, as with Crimea, ‘toothless sanctions’ won’t work. Here we need to help with weapons. Here we need to talk about sending in troops, possibly contingents, etc.,” added the political strategist.

Mobilization in Russia: what is known

• In the aggressor country, a military registration register and a register of summonses will be launched on November 1. For Russians who receive a summons, there will be a ban on leaving the country. And if the conscript does not come to the military registration and enlistment office within 20 days, he will not be able, in particular, to become self-employed, drive a car, take out loans and obtain a foreign passport.
• According to British intelligence , in the Russian army in 2024 they plan to recruit about 400 thousand military personnel under contract. So Moscow wants to increase the army to 1.32 million this year and 1.5 million later.
• At the same time, the spring conscription in Russia is in danger of being disrupted. There are very few people willing to join the Russian army, despite large-scale campaigning.
