Russian President Vladimir Putin planned to make an announcement to the nation on Tuesday evening, though at the last minute he decided to postpone his action for hours as uncertainty grew over a possible general mobilization. In his speech, a pre-recorded speech finally aired this morning, Putin called for a partial mobilization. It has stated that “only civilians currently on the reservations and especially those who have served in the armed forces, have certain military specialties and relevant experience, will be subject to compulsory military service. Those called up for military service will inevitably receive additional military training, taking into account the experience of a special military operation, before being sent to the units.”
“We are talking about defending territories and defending Russia,” the Russian president justified. Putin, in his address to the nation, assures that “the aim of the West is to weaken, divide and destroy our country. They say directly that they were able to divide the Soviet Union in 1991, and now the time has come for Russia itself to be divided into many belligerent regions and regions,” he said.
He has not named a government in particular, but has accused the West of “for a long time plotting such plans: they encouraged international terrorist gangs in the Caucasus, they promoted NATO’s offensive infrastructure near our borders. They have made total Russophobia their weapon.”
Putin has defended the possibility that the separatists are discussing the annexation of the occupied territories to Russia. In his opinion, killing, torturing, imprisoning, liquidating and mocking civilians. “We know that the majority of people living in the areas liberated from neo-Nazis, who are primarily the historical lands of Novorossiya, do not want to be under the yoke of the neo-Nazi regime,” Putin said. “In Zaporizhia, in the Kherson region, in Luhansk and Donetsk, they have seen the atrocities committed by the neo-Nazis in the occupied territories of the Kharkov region.”
