In the Russian Federation, a full-scale mobilization campaign continues. Approximately 20,000 people are being mobilized each month, as revealed by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andrii Yusov, during a briefing.
"These mobilization events are ongoing daily and every month and around 20,000 individuals are being mobilized each month. Recently, the Mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, mentioned an interesting figure – 45,000 Muscovites who supposedly are at the front. Before that, this number was 35,000," stated Yusov.
As the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate noted, effectively, the mayor admitted that around 10,000 additional people had been mobilized in the capital within just a few months. The mobilization campaign in Russia continues "in different ways and by various methods."
However, Yusov highlighted that this pertains specifically to compulsory mobilization, which does not touch the children of officials and oligarchs. It primarily targets those who have recently acquired Russian citizenship.
"This indicates the criteria for obtaining a Russian passport, which creates a potential threat. There's a high likelihood that these individuals will be seized and sent to the war," explained the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate.
Yusov also reminded that the only way for Russian occupants to save their lives was to surrender as prisoners voluntarily. This is also the sole way to preserve their dignity, as it involves rejecting the execution of criminal orders.
Mobilization in Russia
Recently, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, Vadym Skibitskyi, stated that the Kremlin plans to mobilize several hundred thousand people for the war. Russia needs this to attempt to retain temporarily occupied territories and maintain military pressure on Ukraine. This is necessary for the enemy to gain time for soldier preparation and equipment.
As noted by Skibitskyi, the Putin regime has no alternative, which is why the aggressors have long been preparing for this.
"The aggressor state has already enacted a series of laws and regulations that strengthen punishments for non-appearance at the draft board and evasion of mobilization. They've also increased the draft age in Russia and now send the draft notice for war in electronic format," stated the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate.
