No sense in deploying more troops- President Putin

Moscow, 8 December 2022 (GNP): Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, stated yesterday that although his army might continue to fight in Ukraine for a considerable amount of time, he saw “no purpose” in committing more troops at this moment.

Regarding the length of the extraordinary military operation—he stated this could be a long process.

Putin stated that Russians would defend themselves using all available means in a war-dominated televised meeting of his Human Rights Council. He claimed that the West viewed Russia as a second-class country with no right to exist.

The latest in a string of warnings, he claimed that there was an increased chance of nuclear war but that Russia only intended to use its weapons as a last resort and not as the first line of defense.

Russia understands what nuclear weapons are, Putin remarked. More advanced and contemporary versions of these tools are available in Russia than in any other nuclear power. They’re not going to start running around the globe brandishing this weapon like a razor.

At this point, he claimed, there was no justification for a second mobilization after at least 300,000 reservists were called up in September and October.

According to Putin, 150,000 of them were stationed in Ukraine, with 77,000 serving as combat troops and the remainder in defensive roles. 150,000 people were still enrolled in training facilities.

Talking about any more mobilization steps under these circumstances is absolutely absurd, he claimed.

Putin has rarely talked about how long the conflict will likely last, despite boasting in July that Russia was only just getting started.

Although Russia has since been forced to make considerable retreats, Putin has stated that he has no remorse about starting the most destructive conflict in Europe since World War Two.
