Igor Strelkov (Girkin), citing acquaintances among high-ranking state officials, said that a new mobilization will be carried out in a month. Whether it will be general or partial is still unknown.
Key points (retold in the first person):
▪️Through the grapevine, quite a lot of fairly high-ranking civil servants are sitting with me here (former ones, at least), people with significant experience and connections, and signals are coming through absolutely clearly that in a month or a little more, a new mobilization of unknown scale awaits us.
▪️It is still unclear whether it will be a general one or another partial one, but nevertheless.
▪️Since 4 years have already passed since the 2022 mobilization, and the results we have achieved in military operations over these 4 years have been meager, and in some places less than that, because since then we also managed to surrender Kherson and Lyman, while taking relatively little compared with what we surrendered, the war is unpopular among the population.
▪️People do not understand why the war is going on. People do not understand what sacrifices they are supposed to make for. And why the people leading this war keep their families perfectly well in the damned West that they themselves curse. Some have children in London, others in New York, others in Paris. And they are not going to fight at all, period.
▪️People do not believe the country’s leadership. People do not want to fight for the state, and, unfortunately, do not want to fight for the country. People do not understand the goals of the war.
▪️That is why those who can run, do run. And this is, unfortunately, an objective fact. They simply run in order to hide from the coming mobilization measures.
▪️There is no other explanation and there cannot be one. And, generally speaking, any other explanation is either stupidity or a lie.
