Caster Jiro Shinbo appeared on Nippon Broadcasting System “Jiro Shinbo Zoom So far!” He pointed out that Russia’s Putin administration, which continues to invade Ukraine, has decided to call up reserve forces and is regarding to ban men from leaving the country.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a partial mobilization order to continue fighting in Ukraine, and protest demonstrations were held in various parts of Russia, including Moscow and Saint Petersburg, on the 24th. Rights groups said security officials had detained 820 people in 34 cities.
Spicy) Russia is going to be pretty unreasonable. It seems that there are regarding 25 million reserves, but it is announced that 300,000 of them will be mobilized. However, even following reading the announcement in detail, the “300,000 people” is not written anywhere, it was just said at a press conference. Since the document signed by President Putin does not include the number of mobilizations, some speculate that it may be in the millions. That is why the 25 million people who are said to be reservists are fleeing the country one following another out of suspicion that they may also be subject to it.
Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov was initially asked at a press conference, “Why are so many Russians going abroad?” I am answering. However, it has been reported that men in the reserve will be banned from leaving the country soon. It’s completely different from what you said before, isn’t it? Here you can see the panic that the Russian authorities did not foresee so many people fleeing the country.
Here’s some news to watch out for. Russian authorities are now rounding up soldiers in large numbers and sending them to the front lines. However, in major cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg, they are not so convened, and it seems that they are convened on a large scale in regional cities where ethnic minorities live. Rumors will spread rapidly if a large-scale convocation is held in a major city with a large population. You can’t really tell the story.
What should be noted this time is that protest demonstrations are taking place not only in major cities, but also in regional cities where ethnic minorities live. This is because soldiers recruited from local cities where such minorities live have died one following another. That is why the anti-war movement is blowing fire in local cities. It’s a terrible story, but there is also the view that the authorities arrest those who are involved in these anti-war movements on the spot and send them to the front lines.
Russia invaded Afghanistan during the former Soviet era and fought a war for regarding 10 years. The soldiers of the former Soviet Union were completely demoralized, and on the contrary, the Afghan soldiers desperately tried to protect their country through guerrilla warfare in the mountainous areas. The same goes for the invasion of Ukraine. Over 10,000 former Soviet soldiers died in the decade-long war, but Western estimates put at least 15,000 and as many as tens of thousands of Russian soldiers dead in the invasion of Ukraine that began in February. . In other words, the number of dead soldiers in just regarding half a year’s invasion equals or exceeds that of a decade of war.
In the invasion of Afghanistan, the mourning of the relatives of the dead former Soviet soldiers spread among the people, and the invasion ended in the form of being pushed by public opinion. The fact that the ruler at that time was Mr. Gorbachev, a very enlightened person, must have had a great influence. Then, whether the same thing will happen with the invasion of Ukraine, it may be quite difficult unless the Putin regime ends. Nonetheless, the partial mobilization and the ban on leaving the country for male reservists gives the impression that the Putin administration is showing signs of impatience.
