Putin had to announce general mobilization rather than partial - Danilov

The NSDC Secretary noted that the change in the Kremlin leader's plans is related to the disputes in his environment. The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin had to announce the general mobilization on September 20, but the plans were changed and was announced. He reported this on the national marathon of Ukrainian TV channels, RBC-Ukraine reports. According to Danilov, this is due to disputes in his environment.

"He had to do it last night, but as we understand, there are some controversy inside the Putin close to Putin, because yesterday there was a complete mobilization, and today is a partial mobilization. We understand what was happening there," the head of the department said. He also noted that the announcement of partial mobilization in Russia was not a surprise for the Ukrainian authorities. This indicates that Putin is governed by the fear of losing war.

"You see the fear of the enemy as an old, sick and nervous person reads the text from the Suffler who was written. For us it is not a surprise. Given that they are over, they are gaining new," the NSDC said. We will remind, on September 20 the Russian media announced the address of Vladimir Putin, as well as the heads of the Ministry of Defense Sergey Shoiga about "referendums" in Ukraine. However, the propagandists later deleted the announcement and reported the transfer on September 21.
