1/ A new but covert wave of mobilisation will begin in Russia in January 2023, according to multiple sources who have spoken to the 'We can explain' Telegram channel. It will reportedly include raids on places of residence to round up men for the army. ⬇️

2/ 'We can explain' reports:

"Military registration offices in the regions have been instructed by the Defence Ministry to begin intensive work on the mobilisation of men for the war in Ukraine.

3/ Their search will begin in January and February, but the authorities do not plan to officially announce the mobilisation, three separate sources in military registration and enlistment offices in different regions told the 'We can explain' channel.

4/ They claim that one of the tasks set by the Defence Ministry is the mass mailing and delivery of summonses – on the basis of Vladimir Putin's decree on "partial mobilisation," which has never been officially completed.

5/ Military registration and enlistment offices have also been ordered to launch raids on the places of residence of military recruits. The Defence Ministry has not yet given the number of people to be mobilised.

6/ According to an interlocutor in the St. Petersburg commissariat, the military registration and enlistment offices have been warned that "there will be a lot of work in January and February".

7/ A source at the Moscow commissariat added that staff have been ordered to "review the files of conscripts and contract servicemen in order to send them summonses and to involve them in mobilisation."

8/ "What to do is unclear. Officially, the mobilisation has never been completed and now everything has been shifted to the regions.

9/ But if any mistakes happen (and they are bound to happen), the responsibility will be taken by the military registration and enlistment office personnel and their superiors",...

10/ ...said a source in the military registration and enlistment office of one of the regions in the North-West.

11/ The source says that several heads of military registration and enlistment offices in various regions (including Magadan and Khabarovsk Krai) were dismissed this autumn for "mobilisation errors".

12/ "In other words, the military registration and enlistment offices are now in a bind – you cannot refuse to obey the order of the Defence Ministry, but we will be blamed at any opportunity. The tsar is good but the boyars are bad," the source says indignantly."

13/ 'We can explain' points out that while Russia's government has said it is no longer sending out mobilisation orders (which seems to be untrue – people across Russia are still receiving them), mobilisation itself has not officially ended. /end
