Russia in panic: “Putin has declared war against his own country”

THE Vladimir Putin declared partial conscriptionin his speech and caused absolute panic in Russia.

“The “historic day” of his speech Putinas the propaganda called it, passed in Ukraine much more calmly than in Russia. Russians have been searching the internet for information on how they can leave the country or even get a reprieve from the military, Google query statistics confirm.

The Ukrainians on September 20 and the next morning repelled Russian aggression as usual: the announcement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine referred to the number of artillery and rocket attacks and the number of damaged vehicles. The Russian opposition newspaper Novaya Gazeta.Europe (which is published abroad and is blocked in Russia) begins its article with this statement on the occasion of today’s sermon.

“The panic created in the Russian Federation and Ukraine’s indifference are not accidental,” writes the Russian newspaper, noting that “Putin’s announcement of a piecemeal, limited military deployment is more dangerous for the Russians themselves.” “Until recently the main problem for Russian citizens was that they could not buy foreign currency, or that Western brands (of goods) left Russia, while now the national sport of men will be how to escape from the front, how to stay alive and well and as free as possible. Vladimir Putin is very keen to get involved in any story and drag along the people who still hoped to survive.”

“The Russian president’s fifteen-minute morning speech, which was recorded the day before and broadcast at 9 a.m. on September 21, followed the classic norm of his addresses to the nation. The part of his speech on international politics was the main one, and here Putin praised himself for his wisdom (the decision to launch a special military operation was correct), argued with his enemies (the West left us no choice and Ukraine has the audacity to resist, while he himself had suggested that she endure it) and also stated that the very existence and sovereignty of Russia is at stake (why did he raise it?)” writes Novaya Gazeta.Europe according to APE – BE.

At the same time, he points out that “the solution to the difficulties that often arose during the special military operation was called mobilization, that is, to put it bluntly, the forced dispatch of civilians for slaughter.” The Russian newspaper, referring to its article on the campaign for the social support of soldiers, writes that “it was short and effective” and in fact President Putin had stated that “all those who voluntarily participate in the conscription will receive the same pay as contract soldiers”. and that in time of peace a ‘lump sum payment of ten thousand rubles’ appeared to be the solution of all matters, but in war the emoluments are slightly higher.’

“Finally, an important part of Putin’s political legacy, the one he talks about with undisguised pleasure” is his willingness to use nuclear weapons in response to “nuclear blackmail from the West,” NovayaGazeta.Europe points out.

“There is no brake, no way back: the military-strategic game in which Putin has turned the lives of Russians and Ukrainians can end either in the general’s complete collapse, or in some kind of ‘new world order,'” the newspaper points out , stressing that “political analysts are still looking for traces of some subtle political calculation in Putin’s actions, but in fact his actions after February 24 are so predictable” and that “the distance between propaganda and the Russian political leadership does not exist most”.

“Putin, and then Shoigu, (the minister of defense-s.s.) spoke in the same vein, saying that there is no cause for concern: to build the ‘new order’, the ‘line of contact’ is missing about 300,000 reservists, and the conscription will concern only some who have military specialties, who have served in the army and have some military experience” the newspaper writes and expresses the question: “It is difficult to understand in which wars 300 thousand people in Russia are supposed to they would gain experience, but the fact is that there is nothing in the published text of Putin’s decree that makes conscription ‘partial’ (except in title).”

And the Novaya Gazeta.Europe article concludes: “Waging an unjustified, aggressive war against a neighboring sovereign country, annexing its territories, killing its own soldiers for the sake of geopolitical illusions and amateur history lectures, by blackmailing the world with a nuclear bomb and finally starting conscription, Vladimir Putin has declared war on his people and his country”.
