Putin at the meeting with defense production companies managements urged to boost military production, to study western weapons in Ukraine
Rambling Dima spells it all out, sham referendums will be used to declare mobilization and martial law in Russia.
More details of the proposed amendments to the Russian Criminal Code concerning "mobilisation" and "martial law".
A collapse of shares began on Russian stock exchanges after reports of holding "referendums" in the self-proclaimed LPR and DPR and the decision of the State Duma to add the concepts of "mobilization" and "martial law" to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
Vladimir Saldo, head of the Russian occupation administration of Kherson region wrote on Telegram that had signed a decree to hold a "referendum on joining the Russian Federation" on September 23-27.
Vladimir Putin now in a meeting with bosses of the military-industrial complex, urges them to boost production of weapons and ammo, “urgently” supply the armed forces and ensure “100% import substitution in this sector”
Russia moved to formally annex four occupied regions of Ukraine and took a step toward a full-scale troop mobilization following recent setbacks in the war
In response to the announced "referendums", the US Ministry of Justice asked Congress to legalize the transfer of Russian assets to Ukraine, Andrew Adams, says head of the Ministerial Working Group on the Application of Sanctions against the Russian Federation.
According to him, at least $300 billion of such assets have been frozen in the US.
Russian President Putin says the sanctions imposed by the West on energy, grain and fertiliser shipments harmed innocent developing and poor countries
I agree...Annexation of separatist regions gives Putin pretext to use nuclear force to defend ‘Russia’ borders. Attack on annexed SE Ukraine = attack on Russia. If Ukraine continues to fight & west still backs Kyiv, Putin’s strategy seems to be: full Russian mobilisation & nuclear threats.
“In the evening, not only Vladimir Putin will address the Russians, but also, possibly, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu”
Russia's Lavrov says separatist votes on joining Russia are a matter for residents
Another indicator Moscow could be moving towards mobilisation.
Russia is at war not only with Ukraine, but with the whole EU: Spanish PM
