TheVladimir Putin administration has released a statement indicating that it sent 10,000 naturalized immigrants to its war with Ukraine.
Knewz.com has learned that the statement followed an operation by state officials leading to the discovery of 30,000 individuals who had been granted Russian citizenship but did not register with the military.
“We have begun to implement the provisions of the Constitution and our laws that persons who have received citizenship must register with the military and, if necessary, take part in a special military operation,” Chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Alexander Bastrykin, said at the St. Petersburg’s International Legal Forum on June 27.
“Already about 10 thousand of them have been sent to the special military operation zone,” he confirmed in his statement (via Interfax).
The Kyiv Post reports that the Kremlin has come under increasing pressure for its accommodation of Central Asians. This follows the easing of the naturalization processes for the benefit of filling Putin’s armed ranks.
But along with this sentiment, there is a growing dissent among citizens—especially in the wake of the Crocus Hall Massacre.
As a result, Russia’s security forces have stepped up raids on workplaces and hostels known for their migrants causing these foreigners to “slowly” start leaving again.
The Kyiv Post further noted that the Kremlin was slated to send as many as 300,000 troops to the battlefront where there is already an estimated 500,000 fighting.
The latter figure, however – if the reports from the front are anything to go on – is constantly in danger.
According to The Official Website of Ukraine, the current number of Russian combatants put out of action in the war has already surpassed the number of those actively fighting.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the country’s president, has confirmed that 180,000 of these combatants have been killed.
As a nod to the latter, Knewz.com reported on June 4, that Russia lost almost 1,300 troops in what the Western media organizations dubbed “Putin’s deadliest week in the war.”
Notably, these statistics transpired around the same time President Joe Biden permitted Ukraine to use American weapons against attacking troops on Russian soil.
The same article further noted that the aggressing force lost 15 tanks in a single day bringing the total number of units to part with the Russian company (through attrition or otherwise) to 7,740.
The Official Website of Ukraine claims that as of June 1, 14,947 armored personnel vehicles were – if not destroyed – removed from Russian possession or abandoned.
According to said website, some of these vehicles were stolen from the invading forces by Ukrainian Farmers.
Putin has received rare blowback from the public in the form of mothers and wives demanding the return of their men from the frontline.
The first emergence of the resistance transpired in December 2023 when mothers, wives, and girlfriends protested on social media and in the streets. Police forces quickly stomped it out.
The last resurgence of the sentiment was reported by The Moscow Times when women bearing banners calling for the return of their men waited on their knees in front of the Kremlin.
Much like The Moscow Times, said females were dismissed by the Kremlin and designated a “foreign agent”.
