The new wave of mobilization in the Russian Federation will be weaker than the previous one - the Ministry of Defense of Estonia

According to Taavi Laasika, a spokesman for the defense department, it is important to remember that hidden mobilization in the Russian Federation did not stop, despite the fact that the Russian authorities stated that its goals were fulfilled. The Estonian Defense Ministry has not yet received confirmation that the next wave of mobilization in the Russian Federation is inevitable.

The speaker of the Defense Office Taavi Laasik stated that there was no information yet that the Russian Federation would inevitably be re -mobilized. About it reports ERR. "However, this opportunity is always left, it cannot be excluded," the speaker said, adding that the second wave of mobilization is possible, but it will not be so large compared to the first.

At the same time, he said that it is important to remember that hidden mobilization did not stop, even though the Russian authorities stated that its purpose was achieved. According to representatives of the Ministry of Defense, the second wave of mobilization in the Russian Federation will not affect the interests of Estonia, as it will be aimed at aggression in Ukraine. "Many, of course, depends on where potentially mobilized will be placed and what their activity will be.

If the mobilized month or two preparations will be passed, and then they will be directed to the war, then by and large we will not touch us," he said. So far, there is no significant activity on the other side of the Estonian border. "The preparation of mobilized troops is carried out at various locations, it takes place in Pskov.

The full -scale war, which Russia has solved in Ukraine, has a negative impact on the Russian Western units and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as a whole about the number of personnel and units of military equipment," the speaker said. The Estonian Defense Ministry, also noting that the Russian Federation still has considerable military potential to pose a threat in the region.

Foreign Minister Urmas Reinssal, in turn, stated that in the case of the second wave of mobilization, the desire not to get into the army would not be considered grounds for crossing the Estonian border. "An attempt to avoid mobilization is not an argument to allow these people to stay in the territory of the Republic of Estonia. I am sure that our border police have also taken measures to combat illegal migration," reinssal said.

We will remind that in Belarus after the new year decided to continue joint training with the forces of the Russian Federation. According to Belaruski Gayun's monitoring group, the Belarusian army has increased the level of defense plan, but it is still not ready for large -scale offensive operations - there is not enough combat experience. Earlier, Focus reported that, according to the ex-commander of NATO James Stavidis, Russia may not leave the "dark forest", to which Putin started.
