“The decree of the Russian dictator on the emergency call-up of reservists for military training contains two hidden sections marked “secret,” the report says.
The Ministry of Defense added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Ukrainian land “know well what such points usually mean for Russians.”
Putin’s decree on partial mobilization in the fall of 2022 also contained a classified section. Its content has not yet been revealed. According to experts, it contains the real (and not announced in the media) number of reservists whom the Russian Federation intends to mobilize.
On September 21, 2022, Putin announced a “partial” mobilization in Russia to replenish the troops that had invaded Ukraine. On October 28, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to Putin on its completion.
On December 7, Putin said that there was “no need” to continue mobilization measures in the Russian Federation. According to him, 150,000 mobilized Russians are in reserve, and another 150,000 have been sent to the combat zone in Ukraine. At the same time, legally, mobilization in the Russian Federation did not stop, since Putin did not sign a decree on its completion.
The representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andriy Yusov, reported that Russia mobilizes 20,000 people every month. Including invaders carry out mobilization in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
According to Bloomberg, the Russian Federation mobilized more than 500 thousand people in 2022, of which about 100 thousand were recruited into private military companies, including Wagner.
On April 11, the State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a law on the creation of a unified register of persons subject to conscription for military service. A key implication of this measure is that, in the future, the occupying country’s authorities will be able to serve subpoenas electronically rather than by mail, removing a hurdle that previously allowed some Russians to evade the draft. British intelligence sees the introduction of such a system as a sign that Moscow is preparing for a protracted war.
