Dear subscribers and guests of the channel! Yesterday, #Russian President Vladimir #Putin held a meeting via video call with representatives of the leadership of the security and military blocs. There were several topics on the agenda. Mobilization was the central one.

Representatives of the leadership of the military bloc reported that they were ready to carry out a full range of mobilization measures within the framework of both general and partial mobilization.

After listening to the report of the representative of the Defense Ministry, #Putin confirmed his intention to call up about two million people during 2023 and asked the speaker whether everything was ready to complete the task in full and on time.
3/12

The representative of the Defense Ministry replied in the affirmative. Then, they turned to the issue of supplying the mobilized with the "essentials". #Putin was assured that the newly called-up would be provided with the "necessary minimum" of equipment and weapons.

Then, they moved on to discussing the topic of closing borders in anticipation of the next stage of mobilization. #FSB Director Alexander Bortnikov reported on full readiness for "closing the borders" in any format.

men of military age who served in the army and navy and have military specialties. The director of the #FSB noted a large number of "alimony debtors" among those who were forbidden to travel abroad and suggested that this category of citizens be called upon to mobilize.

They say that if the next stage of mobilization, as planned, at least at first, will take place without an official announcement and will be of a hidden nature, then panic can be avoided, and the borders can remain open.
8/12

In addition, the problem will be solved for abandoned wives and children who are waiting for alimony from ex-spouses and fathers. All in all, the President reacted positively to this proposal and ordered to work it out with representatives of the Ministry of Defense.
9/12

The issue of introducing martial law was discussed this time superficially. The President only confirmed the plans and asked about preparations for the implementation of such a decision.
10/12

Having received an answer that preparations were underway and everything would be ready by the second decade of February, he nodded with satisfaction.
After the meeting, the President continued talking with the Security Council Secretary, Patrushev.
11/1

They spoke for about half an hour.
#Putin is not embarrassed by the growing losses at the front. He is ready for a big mobilization and is ready to put hundreds of thousands more human lives on the executioner's block of his crazy ideas.
