Top Russia Official Igor Krasnov Lists ‘Significant’ Problems in Ukraine War to Putin’s Face
Russian Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov announced Russian President Putin that more than 9,000 reservists were illegally mobilized in war against Ukraineaccording to the office of the president.
“Through monitoring efforts, more than nine thousand citizens who were illegally mobilized have been returned home, including those due to their health that should not have been mobilized in any way.” Krasnov said in a meeting with Putin, the transcript was shared on Tuesday.
The mobilization was “a lesson for many,” Krasnov added, noting that the military had to reorganize its database and organize military records to address the shortcomings. also had problem with military payKrasnov said.
“The mobilization has not been done for a long time – it presents a lot of important problems,” says Krasnov.
Update on Internal Chaos comes after months of Russian military fiddling and working to rally Russian men to fight in Ukraine with little preparation. In a bid to flood the field with more employees about seven months after the war last fall, Putin announced “partial mobilization”, calling for 300,000 reservists go to Ukraine.
Some were sent without any training after being mobilized. Reports of men being sent even if they have health problems or are elderly have surfaced in recent months. For example, in the Volgograd region, one 63-year-old pensioner with diabetes and a brain condition was given, according to Baza. Video footage emerged last summer showed old people The Russians are also preparing for war.
Putin is said to have suggested during a meeting with members of the Security Council last year that only healthy men should be summoned to Ukraine.
“Fathers with many children, or those with chronic diseases, or who are past the age of enlistment,” should be deferred from military service, Putin said last fall. RIA.
Krasnov and Putin also discussed Russia’s problems in providing uniforms, bulletproof vests and winter clothing to Russian troops to prepare for war in Ukraine.
“We continue to solve the problems of providing mobilized servicemen with bulletproof vests and other uniforms,” Krasnov said. “Most of the problems have been resolved. We now control the supply of winter uniforms to mobilized servicemen, as well as the formation of appropriate warehouses and their safety.”
Putin responded to Krasnov’s report that there were “questions” about “ensuring the state’s defensive capabilities” in the future.
Even with a track record of failure to mobilize, Putin is looking for ways to gather more Russian troops arrived in Ukraine without causing further domestic resistance, according to a British government intelligence report released earlier this week. In some cases, Russian border guards are said to have begun to prevent migrant workers who are naturalized citizens or hold Russian passports from leaving the country because they can fight for the country.
“The Russian leadership is most likely continuing to find ways to accommodate the large number of personnel needed to prepare for any future major offensive in Ukraine, while minimizing dissent within the country. ,” the intelligence brief said.
Western officials have suggested for weeks that Russia may be planning an attack on Ukraine in the new year. British intelligence assesses that Russian authorities are likely to keep the option of mobilizing more under the previous “partial deployment” to provide more manpower for the invasion of Ukraine.
A satellite image analysis provided exclusively to The Daily Beast last week shows that Russia is building fortifications that could help them launch an attack while preserving the meager gains they have made in eastern Ukraine.
