Putin: "Liberation" Donbass The goal of the whole territory will not change
China News Service reported that according to the Kremlin website, Putin said that only Russian citizens currently in reserve, first of all, are citizens who have served in the army and have certain military professions and related experience, will be recruited. Conscripts will receive additional military training. In addition, the local mobilization order stipulates additional measures for defense orders. The heads of defense industrial enterprises are directly responsible for solving tasks such as increasing production of weapons and equipment, and the government must immediately resolve all material, resources and financial support for defense enterprises.
Putin pointed out that the Western goal is to weaken, divide and ultimately destroy Russia. "They have bluntly stated that they could split the Soviet Union in 1991, and now it is the turn to split Russia into many hostile areas and states." The West has been planning for this for a long time. They have encouraged international terrorist groups in the Caucasus region to promote the deployment of offensive infrastructure around the Russian border. They used "Russia phobia" as a weapon, including the cultivation of hatred against Russia for decades, mainly to establish an anti-Russia bridgehead in Ukraine , and the Ukrainian people were also treated as cannon fodder and pushed into war.
Putin stressed that making a preemptive decision on special military operations against Ukraine is absolutely necessary and the only feasible decision. Its main goal is to "liberate" the entire Donbass, and this goal will not change.
Putin said that after the special military operation began, Ukraine had made positive feedback on the suggestions put forward by Russia, but a peaceful solution was not in the interests of the West. Ukraine interrupted the process of reaching an agreement with Russia under the instruction of the West.
Putin said that he would support Donetsk , Lugansk , Zaporoze and Khlsson districts to "make decisions about their future."
It is reported that the above-mentioned regions have announced that a referendum will be held from September 23 to 27.
Putin said that the Russian army formed a front line of more than 1,000 kilometers during the Ukrainian military operation. They not only have to face the Ukrainian army, but actually face the entire Western military machine. In this case, he felt it was necessary to make a decision sufficient to respond to the threat, that is, to protect the state, sovereignty and territorial integrity and to safeguard the security of the Russian people and the people in the "liberated areas", it was necessary to support the proposal of local mobilization in the Russian Federation proposed by the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff.
Putin stressed that the West has crossed all boundaries in its aggressive anti-Russian policy. If Russia's territorial integrity is threatened, all means will be used to protect Russia and the people. "This is not a bluff."
Shoigu: 300,000 reserve personnel will be recruited, and Russia mobilizes nearly 25 million people. According to reports from China News Service and Russian Satellite News Agency, Shoigu ordered the implementation of the president's local mobilization order on the 21st.
He said on the "Russia 24" program that day that he said that first of all, part of the mobilization is needed to control the 1,000-kilometer contact line and liberated areas, and 300,000 reserve personnel will be recruited. Russia has mobilized resources of about 25 million people.
He said that the mobilized citizens will receive contract soldiers identities and corresponding levels of salary, and "in no circumstances will the current and future" mobilize college students. In addition, conscripts will not be sent to military operations areas.
Shoigu revealed that Russia lost 5,937 people in special military operations, while Ukraine lost more than 100,000 people, of which 61,207 were killed and 49,368 were injured.
China calls for dialogue to resolve differences. Ukraine said Russia "try to rationalize its failure"
After Russia launched the mobilization order, many countries expressed their views on the latest situation.
Hong Kong China Communications News Agency reported that Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the 21st that China's position on the Ukraine issue is consistent and clear. We always advocate that all countries should be respected, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter should be observed, the reasonable security concerns of all countries should be taken seriously, and all efforts that are conducive to a peaceful resolution of the crisis should be supported. China calls on relevant parties to properly resolve differences through dialogue and consultation, and is willing to work with the international community to continue to play a constructive role in promoting the easing of the situation.
U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Brink said Putin's move reflects Russia's fragility and failure.
High British Foreign Office Keegan said Putin's speech was a "worrying escalation." She said Putin "some of the last words are quite worrying and obviously we will urge to keep calm."
Advisor to the Ukrainian Presidential Office Podoliyako said in a text message to Reuters that this is "a completely predictable statement, and it seems more like an attempt to rationalize their own failure." He said, "This war obviously did not follow the Russian script, so Putin needed to make extremely unwelcome mobilization decisions and strictly restrict the rights of the people."
German Vice Premier and Minister of Economic Affairs Haberk said this is "another bad and wrong step for Russia, and we will of course have political discussions and consultations on how to respond."
Czech Prime Minister Feiyala said, "Putin announced a local mobilization order in an attempt to further escalate the conflict launched by Russia against Ukraine. He said, "Assisting Ukraine is necessary and in our interests, we must continue to do so." (End)
