In Russia, they are mobilizing for the cancellation of debts/Collage of 24 channels
Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President Alexei Arestovich spoke about the mobilization in Russia. In his opinion, if it is being carried out now, then representatives of the social lower classes are sent to war.
Aleksey Arestovich stated this during the telethon. The adviser to the head of the President's Office added that they were not ready for long-term mobilization in the aggressor country at all, channel 24 reports. 17 million of its citizens. But this will not give anything, because all of them will need to be fed with something, given some kind of weapon, and in general, something to do with them all.
Partial mobilization is being carried out now, but we see that these are the social rank and file, recruited for writing off debts. In addition, they have very outdated equipment from the 60s and 70s, very similar to ours in 2014, Arestovich emphasized.
At the same time, he added that it is too early to relax. Russia will be able to mobilize another 30-50 thousand people for the war against Ukraine. Of these, the aggressor country will try to form units that will be sent in the directions of Zaporozhye, Krivoy Rog, Izyum, and Avdiivka.
Aleksey Arestovich noted that some of these mobilized are already on the territory of Ukraine. But their combat abilities are even more modest. Consequently, within a week, out of several thousand, 30% survived. The rest either became “200”, or were injured, or fled.
They are no fighters, but they are a mass of armed people with equipment who create problems,” the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office emphasized.
Is a counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine possible
In addition, during the broadcast, Alexei Arestovich told under what conditions the Armed Forces of Ukraine will launch a counteroffensive. He stressed that for this Ukraine needs a huge amount of weapons.
It is also important that we have not only rearmed, but also trained and coordinated brigades. As for their equipment, it is possible around mid-June. At the same time, the adviser to the head of the OP added, there may not be a counteroffensive at all.
