The Russians are leaving the country in panic because they do not want to fight against Ukraine.
By allowing “partial” mobilization, the leadership of the Russian Federation acknowledged that the situation was terrible for them, and the further the worse.
This was stated by a military expert, former commander of the US Army on the European continent, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges on the air of the Espresso TV channel.
“Putin was forced to agree to the mobilization and admit that he cannot control everything. This is important, and it is because of this that the confrontation in the Kremlin began. It was clear from the very beginning that the Russians did not support the mobilization. Half a million Russians liable for military service left the country in order to not be mobilized, they don’t want to fight for the Russian army or against Ukraine,” Hodges explained.
According to him, everyone has seen the video, which demonstrates the terrible conditions of the stay of Russian mobilized and their provision.
“This whole system is the result of years of corruption and incompetence. But it happened and it’s a crime that untrained soldiers will be sent to war. Putin simply disposes of their lives, throws their bodies into the battlefield in order to continue the war. He doesn’t care how many people can die, but this is his method of continuing the war,” the expert added.
