Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu pointed out that “most NATO satellite networks are operating against Russia in Ukraine,” noting that “Russia is not at war with the Ukrainian army as much as with the entire West.”

In a statement, he indicated that “partial mobilization applies to those with a military background,” stressing that “Operations in Kyiv are being led by Western military leaders.”

Shoigu said: “We are seeing attacks by Western weapons on the civilian population,” and about partial mobilization, he said that “we have huge resources and 25 million personnel, and we will call on 300,000 reserve forces.” He stated that “the loss of Ukrainian troops has so far exceeded 60,000 killed”, stating that “5,937 soldiers of his country died in the war in Ukraine.”

Some time ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced, according to the Russian news agency TASS, the partial mobilization of the Russian army. He also noted: “I have decided to launch a preemptive strike, the purpose of which is to liberate lands in the Donbass.”
