Aleksey Arestovich: the first mobilized from the Russian Federation are already fighting on the territory of Ukraine
On the third day after the start of the mobilization, about 10,000 and up to 20,000 Russians were already at the Ukrainian border.
This was announced on September 27 during a conversation with Russian human rights activist Mark Feygin, adviser to the OP Aleksey Arestovich.
“They have already replenished the defending units near Svatove, Lyman and Kupyansk. Some of them died, and some are already in captivity. Everything is very fast. Their fate is sad because they are not allowed to prepare at all,” he said.
Recall that the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said that intelligentsia from the central regions of Russia also falls under Putin’s mobilization.

Putin and his cronies are throwing these poor people to die. They wearing the old soviet era helmets and I doubt they giving them flack vests.
Let us all Pray that God destroys those who have violated his Commandment: “THOU SHALT NOT KILL.” Russia has wrongfully Killed.
It’s in my professional opinion that Russia is not going to stop the atrocities they continue to commit all over Ukraine until either Russia eliminates Ukrainians completely or they surrender to Russia. if the rest of the Democratic society’s don’t care to help STOP Putin they will be basically telling Russia it’s okay and why stop there, Take every last square inch of the European Continent. Putin loves the fact everyone scarred of the 3rd world war. It’s already on folks. STOP RUSSIA NOW AND PERMANENTLY. they just need to keep to themselves, so we don’t see this ever again in the world. Nobody in the World has threatened Russia. Russia needs to be spanked and put back in their place on the russian side of the borders that were agreed to in the 90′
It is aot Russia! It is Putin and His regime. The Russian people are not running to sign up to take over Ukraine.He needs to be stopped. He will use nuclear weapons. He will sacrifice the his people and the people of Ukraine! while the world stands by. Look at how he closed Russian borders. Pray for the people of Russia. and Ukraine!The world must stop h as he will not stop!
The Ukrainian military and political leadership had been able turn the tide around and inflict devastating strategic losses on the Russian military. The Ukrainian military was able to quickly acquire the knowledge and expertise of the NATO & Western military equipment & weaponry in a very short timeframe and effectively use it against the Russian forces. The results are impressive and visible: Within days the Ukrainians will be able to take over Lyman and further penetrate the Lugansk/Donbass southern frontlines. Strategically this is a very important move. However, will Putin who feels cornered with his military failures use the tactical (smaller scale) nuclear weapons to change the course of the war? With the sham & fraudulent referendums it feels like Putin is all in… In addition, with forced mobilization of Russians it feels like Putin is playing this game with the usual Russian military playbook he utilized in Georgia, Chechnya, Crimea and Syria: win the war by spilling more civilian blood, inflict more civilian terror, rapes, murder of civilians and keep committing more war crimes to further inflict more fear and terror.
At this point the NATO nations should issue more direct and stricter threats against Putin and even consider closing the borders to the Russians who are escaping the country. These same people, the vast majority of them (75%-80%) supported Putin’s bloodshed and war vs Ukraine and now they also need to held responsible. They need to stay in Russia and protest there against Putin regime and not simply escape and claim refugee status, when they absolutely do not deserve it.
This war will end within few months or a year at maximum, however it might be possible that Putin feeling cornered utilizes the tactical nukes (vs strategic). This will be the last and final nails to his coffin and this will forever destroy Russia as a country. If Putin makes this strategic mistake, there will be no more Russia and instead of it we will have 10+ more independent republics. And maybe this is the best outcome for the world peace and long-term stability on the Eurasian continent?
