Putin’s Mobilization Secretly Drafts One Million Men to Fight Ukraine
The mobilization announced
two days ago in Russia by bloody dictator Vladimir Putin to fight in his
atrocious invasion of Ukraine turned out to be “full,” rather than “partial,”
as he claimed.
It’s secretly drafting one
million men, rather than just 300,000.
The Kremlin tyrant has
severely escalated his war against Ukraine by announcing the mobilization,
while also threatening the United States and its western allies with nuclear
war because of their support for the Ukrainians.
Russia has now lost more
than 14,000 units of heavy military equipment in Ukraine, plus up to 150,000
killed, wounded, captured, or missing.
The Ukrainian government’s
count put the number of dead servicemen from the official Russian military at
more than 56,000. If the casualties of Putin’s mercenaries and proxies are also
factored in, the number of Russian fighters killed in battle would be about
100,000.
Putin and his crony regime were reluctant to declare mobilization out of fear of an armed revolution that could topple them. However, the manpower loss has been so huge the dictator feels forced to take to conscription.
Putin Bleeding Out Russia’s Ethnic Minorities
Putin’s Defense Minister and close crony, Sergei Shoigu, was quick to announce after his boss’ mobilization speech that only about 300,000 military reservists would be summoned to fight in Ukraine. However, a censored paragraph in Putin’s order actually revealed one million men would be called up, according to a report cited by The Daily Mail. The mobilization order was published with one of its paragraphs blanked out, which supposedly related to the number of men who could be drafted.
A source close to Putin
told Novaya Gazeta, an opposition newspaper, that the hidden figure stipulates
the conscription of one million men.
While the Kremlin was quick to deny the report, international and Ukrainian military observers stated they have been taken aback by the speed of the mobilization. Young and middle-aged men all over Russia’s vast expanses have been getting rounded up, while thousands have tried to leave the country by air or land.
One thing particularly
notable about Putin’s swift mobilization is it seems to be disproportionately
targeting members of Russia’s numerous ethnic minorities and minority
peoples. In many cases, these folks inhabit their own autonomous republics
within a nominal federation ruled by the de facto “Tsar” in Moscow.
Ukrainian military analysts
have noted in YouTube interviews that besides seeking to crush Ukraine, Putin
is using the war and the mobilization to try to kill off the most
military-capable men of the ethnic minorities.
This is designed to prevent
potential independence movements from having enough fighters. Russia is
increasingly threatened by falling apart, just like the Soviet Union did back
in 1991.Thus, some of the most active mobilization efforts appear to be taking
place in the non-Russian autonomous republics of Buryatia, Yakutia (Saha),
Dagestan, Tatarstan, and Chechnya.
