A Western analyst says a new mobilisation of Russia is coming too late for this year – but it could change the Ukraine war sustainably.
Last month, Russian military officers traveled from St. Petersburg to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, located between the two NATO member states and the Baltic Sea.
Last month, Russian military officials flew from St. Petersburg to the Kaliningrad region, where they oversaw planning and procedures for preparing for the mobilization of the population, including details of how to house, feed and arm the mobilized people, according to Western intelligence officials, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
The Russian military held military maneuvers in the Kaliningrad region in July to practice what to do in case of a mobilization, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported, citing Western sources. The Kremlin vehemently denies that it plans to proceed with another wave of mobilization.
Western intelligence sources tell the Wall Street Journal that the Russian military has been conducting exercises across the country for several weeks to test its ability to conduct a mass conscription of reservists. The Kremlin has not yet made a decision on the actual mobilization and likely won't do so before the September parliamentary elections.
In July, exercises were held in the Kaliningrad region, during which actions and procedures were planned and practically tested in the event of a possible mobilization of the region's population, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing Western intelligence sources.
