Yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting via video link with representatives of the leadership of the power and military blocs.

There were several topics on the agenda, the central of which was mobilization. Representatives of the leadership of the military bloc reported that everything was ready for them to carry out a full range of mobilization measures within the framework of both general and partial mobilization.

Putin, after listening to the report of the representative of the Ministry of Defense, confirmed his intention to call up about two million people as part of the mobilization during 2023, and asked the speaker whether everything was ready to complete the task in full and on time.

Then they turned to the issue of supplying the mobilized with the “essentials”, and here Putin was assured that the “necessary minimum” of equipment and weapons for those called up as part of the upcoming stage of mobilization would be provided.

After that, they moved on to discussing the topic of closing borders in anticipation of the next stage of mobilization.

FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov reported on his full readiness to “close the borders” in any format and drew the President’s attention to the fact that today there is already a ban on leaving the territory of Russia for more than eight million citizens.

Bortnikov presented an analytical note stating that at least half, that is, about four million people, are men of military age who served in the army and navy and have military specialties.

The director of the FSB noted a large number of “alimony debtors” among those who were forbidden to travel abroad, and suggested that this category of citizens be called upon to mobilize.

They say that if the next stage of mobilization will, as planned, at least at first, take place without an official announcement and will be of a hidden nature, then panic can be avoided and the borders can not be closed. In addition, the problem will be solved for abandoned wives and children who are waiting for alimony from ex-spouses and fathers.

The President generally reacted positively to this proposal and ordered that this proposal be worked out with representatives of the Ministry of Defense. The issue of introducing martial law was discussed this time superficially.

The President only confirmed the plans and asked about preparations for the implementation of such a decision, having received an answer that preparations are underway and everything will be ready by the second decade of February, he nodded with satisfaction.

After the meeting, the President stayed in touch with the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, Nikolai Patrushev, and spoke with him for about half an hour.

Putin is not embarrassed by the growing losses at the front, he is ready for a big mobilization and is ready to put hundreds of thousands more human lives on the chopping block of his crazy ideas.

Comment from Paul Van Buitenen: “2 million people additional mobilisation! When will the Russian people stop their dictator and madman Vladolf Putler. I don’t see protesting Russians, who fled the country and posting in front of the Russian ambassy in their country of residence, like the Iranians do, despite the looming dangers.
Must Ukraine face this gigantic horde of orcs alone? The West must do more!”

Comment from Hans Fiedeldeij : “Escalation of this bloodshed is all the KGB killer can think of because his own life is now on the line. For this coward who is hiding in a concrete bunker, sacrificing everything including the future of Russia is no issue. WW2 history repeats itself.”
