Russia says 335,000 sign up to fight, no plans for new mobilisation
Quick Glance: Russia: 335,000 Enlist to Fight, No Plans for New Mobilization
  • Russia has no plans for an additional mobilization in Ukraine as over 335,000 people have served in the armed forces or voluntary units this year.

  • The Russian armed forces have sufficient personnel to conduct the military operation.

  • Putin ordered a "partial mobilization" of 300,000 reservists in September last year, resulting in hundreds of thousands of young men fleeing Russia to avoid being sent to fight.

  • Former US General Mark Milley stated that the fight would be long, hard, and bloody as Russia has over 200,000 men in Ukraine.

What would happen if Putin dies? Who takes over Russian government?
Quick Glance: Assessing the Russia Threat: Putin's Limited Capabilities Constrain His Intentions
  • Assessments of Putin's intentions often ignore his capabilities.

  • Putin is seen as a maximalist.

  • If Putin does have imperialist ambitions in Eastern Europe, his intentions would partly resemble those of Hitler and Stalin.

  • The Ukraine war has shown that Putin lacks the resources, aside from using nuclear weapons, to fulfill maximalist or genocidal objectives. The Russian military has improved its performance during the war, and its destructive power should not be underestimated.

  • A professor at East China Normal University describes the Beijing forum as a second battlefield between Russia and the U.S.

  • China emphasizes its role as a global peacemaker in contrast to the U.S. and its allies.

Quick Glance: Is Russia Exchanging Fighter Jets for North Korean Artillery Projectiles?
  • North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited a factory that manufactures advanced fighter aircraft during his tour of Russia.

  • Kim inspected manufacturing facilities at the Komsomolsk-on-Amur Aircraft Production Association (KnAAPO) in the Russian Far East, leading to speculation about a potential exchange of artillery projectiles and other materials for new or at least newer jets to modernize North Korea's aging air force.

  • Official photos of Kim's visit to KnAAPO show the North Korean leader accompanied by Russia's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov.

  • A customer without the scruples of North Korea could be an attractive alternative if the offer is right.
