Shoigu called information about mobilization to create a buffer zone stupid

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that a new mobilization would not be required to create a sanitary zone in Ukraine. Answering a corresponding question from TASS, the head of the Ministry of Defense said: “This is stupidity.”

Possibility of creating a sanitary zone in the adjacent territories of Ukraine admitted President Vladimir Putin March 18. This is how he answered the question of whether he considers it necessary to annex the Kharkov region to Russia in order to ensure the security of the Belgorod region, which has been subjected to massive shelling since the beginning of March.

Partial mobilization in Russia was announced on September 21, 2022 by presidential decree. On October 28 of the same year, Sergei Shoigu reported on the completion of the task of mobilizing and recruiting 300 thousand people. There was no decree to complete the partial mobilization. October 30 President confirmedthat the call was completed, and promised to consult with lawyers about the need for an additional decree. Vladimir Putin again talks about the lack of need for a new wave of mobilization stated on a straight line in December 2023. According to him, there were 244 thousand mobilized in the combat zone at that time.
