Regarding the war in Ukraine and citing sources close to the Federal Security Service (FSB), the President of Russia Vladimir Putin does not intend to end the war in Ukraine and is ready to continue it for a few more years, regardless of the losses of the Russian army, aiming to capture Kyiv.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broadly speaking, his plan is this: to buy time for the time being and stabilize the front with the help of the troops. And then to start again in the spring the new attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Russia’s political and military leadership is prepared to accept that by spring the losses in dead and wounded will reach about 100,000. But this does not scare anyone: they will be replaced by the lottery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Russian Defense Ministry plans to prepare 120,000 conscripts, a source close to the general staff said. According to the said source, the conscripts are currently covering the second line of defense, to thicken and strengthen the front line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because of the lack of people, Russia never had people in the second line of defense. In some locations gaps of 20 km were observed between them. That is why Putin is not canceling the partial conscription decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) had announced, that the Russian authorities intend to continue the secret recruitment even in the spring period when new calls are made. That in Russia the secret conscription continues is something that is confirmed by many indirect indications. For example this week the Ministry of Digital Development announced that it will set up an additional list for deferrals from the military for those working in IT technology companies. The draftees, according to ISW data, “are almost certain to be sent to Ukraine in March or April 2023.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
