In the temporarily occupied territories of the Luhansk region, men aged 18 to 55 are being forced to fight en masse on the side of the Russians.
Putin lacks cannon fodder. A number of experts note that Russia may announce a general mobilization. Otherwise, the occupying forces simply do not have enough personnel.
However, the general mobilization in Russia can be announced only by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. It should be noted that according to the legislation of the occupying country, general mobilization is possible only in the case of external aggression and hostilities on Russian territory. But currently there is no such order.
At the same time, I can state the catastrophic lack of manpower of both the occupying forces and the 1st and 2nd army corps of the so-called republics, respectively.
Putin's claims that Russia has sufficient forces and professional troops to carry out its tasks are untrue.
It will be recalled that on February 19, Pasichnyk, the leader of the Luhansk People's Republic terrorist group, signed a "decree" on general mobilization. According to him, representatives of the occupation administration forcibly mobilized men aged 18 to 55.
It is noteworthy that the same "decree" Pasichnyk banned to travel outside the "republic" for men of military age, even in Russia. All men between 18 and 55 are mobilized, regardless of their combat experience or military specialty. Suppose a local resident is not on the military register and has not received a summons but falls under the age criteria. In that case, he must still come to the military registration and enlistment office.
Evasion of mobilization involves administrative and criminal liability. According to the "law" of the so-called LPR "On mobilization training and mobilization in LPR" heads of enterprises, institutions, and organizations of all forms of ownership are obliged to assist the military commissariat and ensure notification and attendance of citizens working at these enterprises which are subject to conscription to assembly points or to military units.
In addition, company officials are personally responsible for fulfilling their mobilization responsibilities.
I want to draw your attention to the fact that the so-called military enlistment offices have already been deployed in those territories of the Luhansk region that were under the control of the Armed Forces until recently. The invaders mobilized even students of higher educational institutions.
The occupiers are throwing at the forefront people who do not even know how to hold weapons in their hands.
And even the well-known terrorist Girkin acknowledged the catastrophic level of training of men mobilized from the ORDLO. According to him, only half of the russians are actually able to hold a machine gun.
I will remind you, on March 9 the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation recognized that conscripts take part in war in Ukraine. The cost of living of dead soldiers in Russia was estimated at 5 million rubles.
