What is known about the new mobilization schemes of RussiansAccording to British intelligence, the debt relief will be part of an expanded program called Loan Repayment Vacation for Russian Military Personnel.
The benefits will apply to loans of up to 10 million rubles about 94,400 and may also apply to the wives of contract soldiers.According to Mediazona, since October 2022, Russians have submitted 411,000 applications for repayment of mortgages and personal loans.Intelligence notes that these financial incentives are aimed at attracting new contractors to compensate for the losses of the Russian army.According to British intelligence estimates, the number of dead and wounded among the Russian military has now reached 760,000, and the average level of casualties in November 2024 was 1,523 people per day.These measures are also designed to avoid a new wave of mobilization, which, according to the Russian authorities, reduces public support for the war and provokes mass emigration.
According to British analysts, the debt writeoff will create additional financial pressure on Russian banks in 2025.
This will be another blow to the already existing pressure from high interest rates and sanctions.
As a result, the resilience of the Russian banking sector to economic shocks may significantly decrease.
What is known about Russias new brutal tacticsAccording to foreign journalists, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are increasingly facing a shortage of manpower on the battlefield.
Against this backdrop, the Russian army has begun to employ brutal and costly tactics.The current situation on the battlefield was commented on by Dara Massicot, a senior fellow in the Russia and Eurasia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
What the units Ukrainian ed.
feel from the Russians is significant tension from Russian tactics, she emphasized.
What is important to understand is that the Russian invaders are constantly attacking the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in very small groups.
Its death by a thousand cuts.
This is a very big stress for units that are not staffed, the expert noted.
Its no secret that small assault attacks by the Russian occupiers, known as meat assaults, have always created problems for Ukraine, but now the situation has worsened due to a lack of manpower.Against this background, Head of State Volodymyr Zelensky was forced to lower the minimum age for mobilization from 27 to 25 years old.Despite this, the team of American leader Joe Biden insists on further lowering the age threshold to increase the number of people available for conscription.
So far, Ukraine is in no hurry to make a similar decision.
