Thus, Putin’s declaration of mobilization, which was recorded on the tape on Tuesday, was broadcast yesterday morning, addressing the people of Russia. Starting by defending the partial mobilization decision, which was broadcast on all television channels in Russia, Putin said, “The West has started to follow a clear offensive line against us. We in Ukraine had to resist not only the ultra-nationalists, but the entire Western alliance. NATO alliance countries are encouraging the Kyiv administration to attack Russia directly by giving more advanced weapons every day. Moreover, they express this openly without hesitation. The special military operation we started in Ukraine was turned into a war against Russia by the West, and almost all types of weapons began to be used. On the territory of Russia, they began to strike the cities of Belgorod, Kursk and the Crimea. In the face of calls from Washington, London and Brussels to take the war to Russian soil, we are left with no choice but to declare partial mobilization to defend our sovereignty and territorial integrity. Therefore, taking into account the latest developments, I am declaring a partial mobilization.”

WHAT DOES THE DOOMS SCENARIO MEAN?
1. WHY DID Putin DECLARE PARTIAL MOBILIZATION?
In fact, Russian President Putin’s army has been experiencing serious personnel loss on the Ukrainian front for four months. Before declaring mobilization, even prisoners from prisons began to be sent to war in exchange for amnesty. After the successful counter-operation carried out by the Ukrainian army in the Kharkiv region, the image of Putin was seriously damaged in the country. When he started to receive criticism even from his supporters, the ‘hawk’ declared a mobilization by bowing to the demand of the front.
2. WHERE WILL 300 THOUSAND SOLDIERS BE USED?
The answer to this question was actually given by Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu. Stating that the front line was a thousand kilometers long in the war between Russia and Ukraine, Shoigu said, “We had to declare mobilization because the number of soldiers was not enough to control the entire front line. 300 thousand people to be recruited will generally be used as ‘second force’ behind the front line. It will also fulfill its duty of law enforcement in the liberated areas,” he said.

3. WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH REFERENDUMS?
The pro-Moscow administrations in the Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions occupied by Russia in Ukraine are holding a referendum on annexation to Russia between September 23-27. Putin yesterday this referendum declared that he would recognize the results. After Russia’s annexation votes, serious turmoil is expected in these 4 regions. Additional forces to be recruited by mobilization will carry out the task of public order in these regions.
4. WHAT IS MOSCOW’S MAIN PLAN?
The mobilization announced by Putin also contains an important message to the West. After the so-called referendums to be held in 4 regions in Ukraine, Ukraine’s effort to take back its own lands will be considered as an attack on Russia. Since the Ukrainian army will use the weapons provided by the West, the Kremlin’s decision may set Russia against the West in a way that may lead to undesirable results, with the claim that “Your weapons are hitting Russian soil”.
