Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a “partial mobilization order”, which is expected to recruit 300,000 citizens who have served in the military and have some military experience and related experience since the 21st. Andrei Illarionov, Putin’s former adviser, said in a recent report. interview that the decision was influenced by Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
The Russian-Ukrainian war was at a standstill and Putin announced the request for 300,000 reservists. According to a Deutsche Welle report dated 24th, Illarionov stressed that the Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kharkiv was not the reason Putin changed his policy.All of these decisions were made on Wednesday, September 19-21. on behalf of the Kremlin at least a day or two before the decision, which is 17 and 18 September.
Illarionov believes that Putin’s previous participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan and his exchanges with Xi could force him to reverse his attitude towards the war and change his previous plans for referendum, conscription and nuclear blackmail.
Illarionov said bluntly not to rule out the possibility that Xi Jinping would suggest to Putin to end the war as soon as possible. As the 20th Congress approaches, Russia has entered the war for more than seven months without a win, embarrassing Xi and making him appear weak at the most important thing in his life.
Illarionov said Putin was ready for a long war of attrition that could take years if necessary. But the decisions of the last few days mean a fundamental shift in his strategy, not a sign of his weakness or failure, but of his addiction to Xi.
Furthermore, when Ilarionov was questioned about the possibility of a Russian defeat, he said that “sooner or later Putin will be defeated, we just don’t know when and at what cost”.
