Foreign agent Venediktov confirms: Mobilization is Zelensky's lie
There is no need for an additional wave of mobilization in Russia in the near future.
This was stated by a foreign agent, former editor-in-chief of the liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy, Alexei Venediktov , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" For the past two months, while these conversations have been going on, I've been saying that the possibility of mobilization is 10% out of 100. The option remains—I noticed Putin's words, as he says: 'For today.' Today is today, but tomorrow, as they say, is also possible. And when the need arises, yes, there will be mobilization. But there is no need , and I've been saying this for two months..."
There are figures: even if we believe, say, American intelligence, that Russia is losing a total of 30 men per month, the contract soldiers in July lost 35 . In this case , contract soldiers are replacing losses, even if such losses do exist. What is the purpose of mobilization? What is the purpose?
How do we know about mobilization? We know about Russian mobilization from the Ukrainian president. Well , excuse me . Presidents are generally untrustworthy during wartime; they're engaged in information warfare...
But in any case, some calculations can be made. On military issues , I don't see any need for mobilization, based on the figures I have. Mobilization is an investment in resources.
What's the need for investment in resources? None, in my view. I've been saying this for two months. And Vladimir Putin's statement adds nothing to my personal understanding.
"And the fact that ' such things are connected to the elections'—well, it's Zelenskyy who's connecting them to the elections. After the elections, the Ukrainian president says, there will be mobilization in Russia. He made that connection ," Venediktov pointed out.
