After the partial mobilization of Russia, 200,000 Russians fled to Kazakhstan, many were conscripted despite proven incapacity. Ukraine bans negotiations with Kremlin chief.
Russia still has serious problems with the partial mobilization of troops. While Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced that 200,000 reservists had already been called up, there are reports from many parts of Russia that the reservists are already returning home.
For various reasons, but most importantly, they were confiscated despite proven unfitness. British military experts argue that Russia is also incapable of adequately equipping so many soldiers. Putin had wanted to withdraw a total of 300,000.
Since the partial mobilization two weeks ago, 200,000 Russians have fled to neighboring Kazakhstan. According to the Kazakh Ministry of the Interior, 150,000 have passed through.
The alleged disappearance of a Russian nuclear submarine in the Arctic Ocean, which is reportedly equipped with a new type of weapon that can trigger tsunamis, caused brief media excitement. However, the weapon system will not be operational until 2027.
Baerbock assures German support
The peace seems to get a little further away every day. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree on Tuesday banning all negotiations with Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.
Selenskyj’s wife Olena was at a security conference in the Polish capital Warsaw on Tuesday, where she met European minister Karoline Edtstadler (ÖVP) and German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens).
This assured the Eastern European countries of German support in the event of Russian aggression and resolutely rejected the Kremlin’s territorial claims in Ukraine. The regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson as well as Crimea are “parts of Ukraine”.
