Direct speech from the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate: “Now they are considering the option, this is not yet a fully resolved issue, to call up an additional 450 thousand.”
Details: Budanov emphasized that mobilization in the Russian Federation did not stop. Last fall they called up about 350 thousand Russians. But hidden mobilization continues all the time and now between 20 and 22 thousand people are conscripted every month.
“This in itself leads to the following question: why such a quantity if the losses, as they say, are scanty? Well, you’ll see that the truth will be somewhere in the middle,” Budanov explained.
