In the Russian Federation prepare for the second wave of mobilization: the named terms
"Russian safety sources have stated that some Russian officials are" seriously preparing for the second wave of mobilization in the reserve and hope to carry another wave of mobilization in the reserve in the fall, "the message said.
It was noted that it was important to see the difference between the usual Russian conscription for military service, which takes place every half a year, with large -scale mobilization in the reserve, during which more than 300,000 reservists were attracted to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the fall of 2022, cryptomobilization, which attracts fewer reservists, and others ways to force Russians to sign allegedly voluntary contracts with the army of the Russian Federation.
Russian officials want to mobilize 170-175 thousand reservists and postpone the autumn call from October 1 to November 1. This is necessary to take into account the mobilization processes in the reserve, and at the same time conducting "contractual mobilization" to set an additional 130 thousand soldiers. In addition, they propose to prohibit certain categories of persons to receive a deferral from mobilization.
However, the Kremlin fears the reactions of some Russian officials and society to such measures. "These plans, proposals and differences are not new and do not indicate that Russian President Vladimir Putin has finally decided to carry out the second wave of reserve mobilization in the near future," analysts said. On the eve of the spring conscription of 2023, discussions were made in the Russian Federation to prepare for mobilization in the reserve.
Then some Russian officials offered "more dramatic" mobilization measures, but they were not implemented. It was added that any new wave of mobilization depends on Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, at the Eastern Economic Forum on September 12, he spoke about the recruitment of the Russian Army on the contract, answering questions about the possible second wave of reserve mobilization.
Analysts believe that his answer does not necessarily establish information conditions needed to prepare Russian society for forced mobilization, but it may indicate Putin's commitment to cryptomobilization practices. We will remind, in August the media reported that after the day of the only vote in the Russian Federation may start general mobilization. Its possible date is September 25.
