MDI: Russia mobilized almost all men in the occupied territories of Luhansk region and Donetsk region

Almost the entire male population was mobilized in the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk and Donetsk regions.

A representative of the MDI of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Vadym Skibitskyi stated this in a comment to “The Guardian”.

"We see that almost the entire male population is mobilized in the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk and Donetsk regions. According to our assessment, after the annexation of the territories occupied by Russia in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, mobilization will be announced there as well," he noted.

According to Skibitsky, Ukraineʼs task is to inflict the greatest losses on Russia on the battlefield, which, along with sanctions and political isolation, will have an impact on the Russian economy and society.

Also, a representative of Ukraineʼs military intelligence called the threat of Russiaʼs use of tactical nuclear weapons against Ukraine "very high."

“Strikes are likely to target locations along the front line where large numbers of personnel and equipment are deployed, as well as important command centers and critical infrastructure. To stop them, we need not only anti-aircraft, but also anti-missile systems," the representative of military intelligence of Ukraine noted.

• After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Putin, representatives of the Russian government and propagandists repeatedly hinted that Russia could use nuclear weapons. On September 21, Putin threatened nuclear weapons in the event of an attack on the Russian Federation. In fact, he hinted at the possibility of nuclear strikes if the Armed Forces continue to liberate the occupied territories that Russia wants to annex based on the "results" of pseudo-referendums.
• The USA warned the Russian Federation of "devastating" consequences and a response.
• President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that the nuclear threat from the Russian Federation may become a reality, so it should be taken seriously. Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the same. She urged not to consider Putinʼs words a bluff.
• On September 28, Politico wrote that the United States has significantly increased surveillance of Russiaʼs nuclear weapons.
