Mobilization in Russia is ideal storm that can destroy Putin's regime - military expert Samus
Mykhailo Samus, a military expert and director of the New Geopolitics Research Network, believes that if mobilization is announced in the Russian Federation now, the military effect will be in a few months, and the socio-political effect can happen right now
He expressed this opinion on Espreso.
"The need for mobilization is already too late for the Russian army, given the schedule and pressure currently exerted by the Ukrainian army. Even if the Russian Federation announces a partial or full mobilization in a few days, it will take time for preparation, creation of new military units, coordination, and to find military equipment and weapons - all this will be able to bear fruit only in January of next year. But the culmination is coming right now and Russia has missed this time," explained the military expert.
Mykhailo Samus noted that there is now a hybrid mobilization in Russia, besides, it is not clear on what grounds Prigozhin is recruiting illegal armed formations called PMK and under what legal status those criminal criminals who are going to fight are registered, but most likely, they will remain the same criminals, although they will go to the front to die.
"Possibly, Putin's entourage is already saying that mobilization will be catastrophic, because it will cause protests among the Russian population. In fact, if they announce mobilization now, the military effect will be in a few months, and the socio-political effect can occur right now. Understanding the situation at front and internal turbulence in the Russian Federation, this will be an ideal storm that can destroy Putin's regime, which is why he is delaying this time," Samus commented.
