War support levels, Russians will endure another mobilization - wsj

Journalists remind that in September, when Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a decree on partial mobilization, the level of war support for the war fell to 34%. Already in November, when the call to the ranks of Russian troops was officially completed, this figure increased again - to 80%.

The Kremlin's former official in a comment to reporters suggested that the Russians would "endure" another wave of mobilization, during which several hundred thousand fighters can call in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. A similar opinion was argued by the expression of the Presidential Administration by the results of closed internal surveys that were custom -made.

The exclusive of the independent analytical Levada center Lev Gudkov also confirmed that the Russians began to be more loyal to the full-scale war and the death of tens of thousands of people in Ukraine. According to him, the propaganda machine reduces the effects of armed conflict. "At the domestic level, the war does not cause strong anxiety and objections to the Russians," Gudkov added, commenting on moods in Russian society.

It should be noted that the American Institute for the Study of the ISW War in its report from January 15 warned about the change of Vladimir Putin Strategy in the war against Ukraine. According to analysts, the Kremlin wants to take the initiative on the front, for which it enhances propaganda and increases capable power. The military intelligence of Ukraine a few days earlier warned that the Kremlin wanted to form a two -millionth Army, which will require the announcement of a new mobilization.
