Details: Military authorities in Russia’s Nizhny Novgorod Oblast have failed to form a tank battalion, though the procedure has been going on since the beginning of July.

Of the required 160 people, only about 30 signed a contract for service.

According to intelligence data, for greater motivation, the officials in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast promised to pay the monthly financial assistance in the amount of 10,000 Russian roubles [roughly US$168, – ed.] to families of “contract volunteers” whose children study in grades 10-11 of secondary schools starting from 1 September. However, the number of people who wanted to go to war did not increase significantly. 

In general, the Russian Federation has created a new enlistment system. It provides for the implementation of mobilisation measures on a territorial basis when divisions are formed in each regional unit. They are funded from the local budget.

  1. Mafia land’s illegal war has started badly, is being conducted badly, and will end badly. Most potential meat puppets know this and don’t want to get killed or maimed for a lost cause.
