“There is a road of death”: Russian command throws conscripts into assaults in Kursk and Ukraine

The Russian army found itself in a stalemate after the Armed Forces of Ukraine began conducting a defensive operation in the border area of the aggressor country. It is impossible to make up for the large losses of the Russian occupation forces, and the Kremlin is afraid of a “large” mobilization. Therefore, in the Kursk region they decided to plug the holes with conscripts, and now they are throwing wounded occupiers into the meat storms – essentially to slaughter. Obozrevatel media outlet says this.
According to Russian analyst Anatoly Nesmiyan, Russia no longer has the resources to solve two problems simultaneously – advancing in Donbass and defending the Kursk region and other border regions.
“There are two possible options – to stop the offensive and transfer forces to the Kursk region or to carry out a large-scale mobilization of everything that is left. In fact, it will most likely not be possible to carry out a mobilization of civilians – this will cause very serious social unrest, and it is not clear how the control system is capable of coping with this task,” he wrote on his Telegram channel.
He emphasized that there are a large number of security forces in the Russian Federation, but the Kremlin will not use them in Kursk region or in other border regions.
“They are needed precisely inside Russia, since the main enemy of the regime – the people – is not going anywhere. And if necessary, they will need to be brought into submission by someone. Therefore, the maneuver of the force resource is extremely limited. “Putin’s foot soldiers” from one North Caucasian republic cannot be used either, they have their own task: they are the personal reserve of the commander-in-chief in case of a repeat of Prigozhin’s mutiny – suddenly one of his comrades goes crazy. True, Prigozhin’s mutiny made it clear that there is no special hope for the “foot soldiers” in such a case, they can get stuck in a traffic jam and not arrive on time. But there are no others anyway,” the analyst explained.
In his opinion, therefore, everything will remain as it is and the Kursk region will no longer be returned by force – the regime will only try to prevent even more from being seized.
Obozrevatel says that thus, the Russian army found itself in a vicious circle: large losses in the combat zone in Ukraine, and now also in the Kursk region of the Russian Federation, led to a severe shortage of personnel, and there is practically no one to replenish it.
According to a Ukrainian Armed Forces officer who is taking part in the Kursk operation, this is why the Kremlin gave the go-ahead to plug the holes with conscripts. However, they will not change the situation. “Conscripts cannot and do not want to fight. They were not prepared for this, moreover, they were promised not to send them to war. Some obey orders and try something, but it is useless, and others surrender – and this is their only chance to save their lives,” the Ukrainian defender told.
