"To replenish the loss": GUR told if Putin will decide to announce a new mobilization before the elections

This was reported by the representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense Vadim Skibitsky in an interview with RBC-Ukraine. According to him, all the preconditions for carrying out mobilization measures in Russia have already been created, including the relevant legislative bases.

For example, there is an account of conscripts, as well as plans for the formation and restoration of military districts, including Leningrad and Moscow, which also influences the need for mobilization of the Armed Forces. "We now see that all mobilization is mainly on replenishment of losses that the Russian Federation is in our territory. To create a powerful strategic reserve, they really need mobilization - is unambiguous. Will Putin dare to do it? -We will look.

Now it is very early to talk about it. But all the conditions for mobilization at any time are created in Russia, "he said. Skibitsky emphasized that every day, about 1000 to 1,100 recruits are coming to the Armed Forces of Russia, which is approximately 30 thousand people a month. "It goes to the replenishment of losses and the formation of backup regiments. But it cannot be called hidden mobilization. Let's be: they are mobilizing.

It is simply not done as massively as in October-December 2022,"-said GUR representative . However, as Skibitsky noted, Russian citizens have an incentive to join the army, which is often the case with wages. This is especially true in crisis regions, where either wages are low or there are no jobs at all . . . "Russian prisoners of war are openly admitted that they went to the army because they pay there, and it has a" mortgage, family, family and so on.

" This motif is today the main one for those who voluntarily go to mobilization, sign contracts and fight, "he says. It is important to note that the amount of wages is different, as the scout explained, and depends on the location of the unit, as well as on whether it participates in active fighting. "But the Russians clearly determined that the day of hostilities is a plus of 8 thousand rubles for wages. If we talk in absolute numbers, it is about 220-250 thousand rubles a month.

It is for those who are directly involved in hostilities in the first collision lines, "he stated. We will remind, the wives of the Russian invaders appealed to return their husbands home. The State Duma of the Russian Federation replied that their service would continue until the end of the war. ISW has informed that in Russia to cover losses in Ukraine decided to facilitate the procedure of granting citizenship. Migrants and foreigners will now be able to get a Russian passport in only a month.
