Putin llama a filas a 300.000 reservistas para la guerra en Ucrania

September 21, 2022 - El presidente Vladimir Putin ha ordenado la primera movilización de Rusia desde la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Para la movilización parcial se llamará a filas a 300.000 reservistas con experiencia militar previa.

Russia’s call-up will include people who have had military training and, Putin stressed, have specialist skills needed in the Ukraine conflict. They will include many reserve officers, including some over 60, pulled in from retirement, according to the BBC.

Russia could in theory mobilise some 25 million people for military service, but that is not yet being considered. Both President Putin and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu stressed that conscripts would not be sent to fight in Ukraine.

Mr Shoigu said the extra troops were required to defend a front line stretching for some 1,000km.

The mobilisation will be spread over months – and Mr Putin has said previously that Russia is prepared for a long fight, the BBC said.
