Details: Kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov stated that there is currently no need for another partial forced conscription into the reserve in Russia, as the Russian authorities continue to bet on cryptomobilization.
Peskov said on November 23 that Kremlin officials were not currently discussing a second phase of mobilization, and that Russia was currently recruiting a sufficient number of contract volunteers.
The report notes that other Russian authorities continue to make efforts to encourage further recruitment of contract volunteers.
Literally ISW: “On November 23, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law allowing Russian soldiers who fought in Ukraine to write off loans of up to 10 million rubles (about $95,869) if Russian courts begin debt collection proceedings by December 1, 2024, which will likely encourage Russians with existing debt to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense.”
“The Russian authorities, as before, are concerned about the economic costs of continuing the war in Ukraine, in particular, the payment of compensation to Russian soldiers.”
Details: Experts remind that the Ministry of Defense of Russia presented a draft law on November 22, which obliges Russian soldiers to return one-time payments received when signing Russian military contracts, if the soldier commits a “gross disciplinary violation” or evades military duties.
Putin recently said he was concerned about Russia’s long-term economic stability, including a reduction in payments to Russian soldiers wounded on the battlefield.
Literally ISW: “The Russian Ministry of Defense likely intends to use this bill to encourage better military discipline among Russian servicemen, especially as Russian servicemen continue to publicly complain of mistreatment by the Russian military command.”
ISW Key Findings for 23 November:
- The Ministry of Defense of Russia probably tried to cover up the recent removal from the duties of the commander of the Southern Military District (PdVO), Colonel-General Gennady Anashkin, after widespread accusations in the Russian information space that Anashkin’s subordinates submitted false reports to the superiors about the progress of hostilities at the front.
- The Ukrainian military denied claims about the presence of North Korean personnel in the Kharkiv region amid new unconfirmed reports that North Korean “technical advisers” are working in occupied Mariupol.
- Russian troops have recently advanced in the Kursk region and near Velika Novosilka.
- Peskov stated that there is currently no need for another partial forced call-up in the reserve in Russia, as the Russian authorities continue to bet on crypto-mobilization.
