Russia pays relatives mobilized to restrain them from protests - Britain's intelligence

"The study of independent Russian media and the comments of the protesting wives themselves indicate that in recent weeks, the authorities probably suggested to increase cash payments to families in exchange for abstinence from protests," the press service said. In intelligence, they said that on November 27, one of the groups of wives of the mobilized published a manifesto against "indefinite mobilization", and in a few days they began to be referred to as a "fake organization".

"The authorities, most likely, are especially afraid of any protests of relatives of those who have been mobilized since September 2022 and now for more than a year at the front," the message said. On November 7, in Moscow, the wives of the mobilized invaders first reached a rally demanding to return their husbands. About 30 people with posters gathered for the action, which says "mobilized time home", "justice is a dembole for mobilized", "return to children of parents" and so on.

In addition, the relatives of the invaders wanted to spend another rally on November 25. Up to 300 people had to take part in it. However, the authorities of the Russian capital refused such an event, referring to the "epidemiological situation". Actually, it is a ban on conducting mass events through a pandemic, which was introduced in 2020. The rally was also not allowed to be held in Novosibirsk, citing a "violation of the principle of legality".

However, the Russian soldiers have met with dissatisfied women, but participants of the action do not believe that their demands will fulfill. We will remind, earlier the Russian edition of "Land", referring to its interlocutors in federal and regional authorities informed that in Russia protests of relatives of mobilized occupiers consider one of the greatest threats to the election campaign.
