< p _ngcontent-sc100="" class="news-annotation">Despite the Kremlin's statements that this is not the case, “partial mobilization” has been going on in Russia since September, because the corresponding decree on its termination from Putin was not. At the same time, Western analysts note that the enemy dictator may call on hundreds of thousands more people to join his army.
It's not a secret for anyone that the Russian military registration and enlistment offices take everyone to the front without understanding. In particular, “conscripts” with amputated limbs fall under the hot hand. However, experts suggest that Putin does not intend to stop there. His goal is to mobilize several hundred thousand more Russians in the near future.
How exactly Putin will draft people into the army
Actually, as noted in The NYT, the hostile dictator will continue to claim that he is not only “liberating Ukraine” from “Nazism”, but also supposedly saving Russia itself from being captured by NATO countries.
This statement seems ridiculous to Europeans, but it became a “call” for unification in Moscow. The Kremlin will talk about this confrontation as a battle “for the restoration of the historical lands of Russia,” the media wrote.
Probably, against the background of these statements of enemy propaganda, partial mobilization in Russia will intensify. The NYT, citing American intelligence officials, states that up to 300,000 citizens already called up may join several hundred thousand more Russians in the near future.
What is the situation in general front: latest news
- Russian invaders continue to shell Ukrainian cities and villages, striking settlements with all types of weapons. Actually, the most aggravation can be observed in the Kupyansky, Limansky, Bakhmutsky, Avdeevsky and Shakhtyorsky directions. It is on these sectors of the front that the invaders are trying to advance, but they are being held back by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
- At the same time, Russia's losses since the beginning of a large-scale war, as of the morning of February 21, are already 144,440 people. Over the past 24 hours alone, the Ukrainian army sent 760 Russians to Kobzon, which is good news.
- In addition, let us recall the words of military analysts who claim that the Russian offensive in many directions has stalled. According to Oleg Zhdanov, the occupiers have a small chance to advance in just two small areas, but for this, of course, they will have to compete with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
