What are the Kremlin’s plans for the Russian army: Kovalenko analyzed the statements of Shoigu and Putin

Russia's military and political leadership have been very generous with cynical statements in recent days. During the so-called “direct line”, Vladimir Putin said that supposedly the aggressor country has no problems with personnel and 1,500 “volunteers” come to military registration and enlistment offices every day.

At the same time, the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, shared plans to increase the size of the army. Military-political observer of the Information Resistance group Alexander Kovalenko told Channel 24, what intentions war criminals have for mobilizing in Russia.

“Everything they (Putin and Shoigu – Channel 24) say is a lie, except for an interesting detail about their plans,” noted a military-political observer of the Information Resistance group.

The Russians will take a break and regroup

Russia plans to increase the army to 1.5 million. Currently the Russian army has 1 million 150 thousand military personnel. This is not only a combat unit, but also service personnel, medical workers and other professions related to military affairs, but not participating in hostilities.

In addition, recently Putin wrote a decree on increasing the Russian army by 170 thousand people.

If you subtract 1,150,000 from 1,500,000, then you don’t get 170,000. So all this suggests that after the so-called presidential elections in Russia there will be a process of mobilization. The aggressor country will recruit at least 350,000 Russians into the army. These are quite realistic figures, if we consider the loss of human resources during 2022 – 2023,” said Kovalenko. compensate. The enemy's offensive actions will continue until and after the New Year and will be quite intense.

After the so-called elections, the Russians can reduce their intensity. I think that the occupiers will even take an operational pause and regrouping will begin,” noted a military-political observer of the Information Resistance group.

The enemy will need to recover losses. Consequently, 350,000 is the amount that can satisfy the needs of the Russian army until the end of 2024 to compensate for losses.

According to Kovalenko, the military-political leadership of Russia will begin more mobilization than occurred in 2022.
