While doubts remain about the outcome of the war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin is said to be increasingly isolated, facing the first visible rift in Russia since he announced the mobilization of reservists on Thursday 22 September. His response on Saturday: the dismissal of one of his main generals and a new law that increases penalties for those who intend not to fight.

Vladimir Putin, challenged by his people, is increasingly isolated on the international stage. An ugly spot symbolized by new demonstrations, Saturday 24 September, in Moscow. Finally, rather, from these hundreds of interpellations. A woman is arrested as soon as she sings her slogan against the mobilization of reservists. Indeed, there is no possible rally for these Russians, who had been instructed to wear black.

Vladimir Poutine is therefore obliged to step up the repression, particularly against those who refuse to fight. On Saturday, September 24, he signed an amendment that provides for ten years of imprisonment for soldiers who desert, but also for those who flee when they have been summoned. On the same day, 2,300 cars were waiting at a border post with Georgia, with Russians on board who refused to go to battle in Ukraine. Vladimir Putin also confronts the incompetence of some of his generals, such as Dmitry Bulgakov, head of Russian army logistics, sacked on Saturday 24 September and replaced by another general, targeted by Western sanctions for his role in the Mariupol headquarters. His new organizational challenge: to summon thousands of reservists, equip them, train them as quickly as possible and send them to the front.
