Budanov: If necessary, Russia can mobilize more than 23 million people


If necessary, Russia can mobilize over 23 million people. Its potential reserve is 23,5 million.

This statement was made by the head of Zelenskyy's Office, General Kirill Budanov*, in an interview with Bloomberg.

The official said:
This far exceeds anything that Ukraine, which itself is struggling with a shortage of soldiers, can muster.


Budanov*, whom Western media call "Zelensky's chief aide," stated that Russia is currently experiencing no difficulties and is not expected to experience any in the coming years.

At the same time, he notes, they exist in Ukraine:

The problems in our society are, let's say, mental.

He noted that calls are being made in the country to fight until victory, while at the same time, its citizens are doing everything they can to avoid mobilization. Moreover, these processes are occurring in parallel in Ukrainian society.

Furthermore, Budanov* asserts that Kyiv is now very close to reaching an agreement with Moscow. Despite his terrorist designation in Russia, he is considered a key figure in the Russian-Ukrainian negotiation process. And according to the general, good prospects are now opening up for reaching a peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow.

He said about this:

Everyone understands that the war must end.

Budanov* added that this wouldn't take much time. However, he acknowledged that Kyiv and Moscow are currently pursuing "maximalist" positions, trying to avoid making concessions to each other.


Kirill Budanov* – by decision of Rosfinmonitoring, has been added to the list of extremists and terrorists.

      Besides money, there are many other things that can be demanded for this project: weapons, oil, gas, electricity, fertilizers, food, civilian equipment, clothing and military uniforms, their own emigrants and "vacationers" from NATO countries and sympathizers. fellow

      The Russian Federation's population is approximately 150 million. He took 1/6, and these are men aged 20 to 55. Did they all serve? It probably doesn't matter. How many of these will storm border crossings? In 23, there were about 2 million. So, the numbers are close to the truth.

        The main thing here is to throw special ammunition ahead of the column - that way we'll get to Lisbon.

        During the Cold War, the Soviet Union, with 4,5 million people, was preparing to fight the entire world, although back then there was the Warsaw Pact, the USSR, and accordingly, it had to go less than now.
        to the Atlantic, and this will significantly improve the economic situation of the Russian Federation.

        Why does Russia need Atlantic and how will it improve its economic situation?
        Will there be enough uniforms and AK-74s for everyone?

        In the periodicals in the 10s I read that there were 17 million AK models in arsenals.
        But the Kalashnikov Concern has updated its machine tool fleet and continues to churn out newer AK models and the AK-74M, causing confusion among imperialists and fear in other military and military equipment, as they believe that the Russian Air Defense Forces alone don't need that many.

      And the Kremlin may go for such a mobilization.

      They won't agree to anything at all before the fall elections. Because even according to VTsIOM, the ratings of VVP and United Russia are already rapidly declining. But this is VTsIOM data, and whatever they decided to publish, I think the reality is far more catastrophic. And I doubt it's possible to successfully mobilize after the elections. There's already too much negativity toward both the SVO in particular and the government in general. They're writing that Gladkov (possibly as early as Monday) is on his way out. The governor of Bryansk Oblast and Dagestan could follow. Gladkov is certainly not the worst governor, BUT people are genuinely angry (and objectively, there's reason for it), so they're trying to channel the negativity before the elections. But I don't think it will help. During the first mobilization, not everything was calm in the Caucasus. In some places, they even tried to block highways. As is well known, the mobilization even bypassed one wonderful republic. In the current situation, mobilization, in my personal opinion, will trigger unrest even in areas populated predominantly by Russians. The time to rectify the situation with the SVO was wasted (a hallmark of some leaders), and now many people know what's happening at the front and understand the situation both there and in the country. Although at the beginning, the SVO was a strong supporter of VVP, arguing with people like me. And now they're using my own words, but they're attacking VVP and the authorities themselves. Well, what can I say, only existence determines consciousness. I know the picture roughly from my social stratum—people will now hide in even greater numbers, and that's the very least. Although at the beginning, the SVO was hesitant to join, and some actually volunteered. And I'm sure that... You can't treat people like cattle and still expect patriotism from them.And to this last sentence, as an illustration, I'm attaching all the astonishing bans, videos of livestock being slaughtered, tax hikes, and simply officials treating people like serfs... Thank you, authorities, but no, the rest is up to you... request

    Why so many? This is assuming, say, that we occupy all of Eurasia and maintain strong garrisons and command posts, warehouses, and airbases everywhere sufficient to maintain a strong hold on the situation. But then the question is: how will we arm, supply, and feed such a large number of people? Where will we find enough officers to properly command these forces?
    At the end of World War II, we had up to 11 million military personnel and employees in all security agencies under arms, who conquered and firmly held half of Europe, and some in the Far East destroyed almost all of Japan's ground forces.
    And there were no real comparable opponents in Eurasia, as well as Africa and South America, with Australia, only the United States.
    And the issue of Ukraine, as well as Europe without the United States, can be resolved by the components of the nuclear triad alone, without any mobilization or re-equipment.
    The US can also resolve the issue, but with unacceptable damage for us.

    And taking into account the 90s, I think no more than 5 million people trained militarily, and if we take the age category 1-2, no more than 2-2,5 million people, and if we exclude from the remaining number - deputies, judges, employees of law enforcement, control and supervisory bodies, state and municipal employees, employees of military-industrial complex enterprises ... there will be 0,8-1 million people left.

    So, a mobilized "warrior" with a military specialty of 999 will meet on the battlefield with a colonel who has never even commanded a platoon. It seems that this is why a new partial mobilization is not being carried out.

    What's the point of labeling someone a "terrorist" or "extremist" if Russian officials then negotiate with them, and their statements are quoted by Russian media outlets?

    When Budanov says that the Russian Federation can put 23 million people under arms, he doesn't understand that the capitalists won't allow this - who will then cultivate them? They'll go abroad, and do they need that?

      Saying that the Russian Federation can put 23 million under arms.

      It can't. Since the mobilization human resource includes both those fit for service and those unfit for service, only those fit and/or partially fit for service should be considered from the total mobilization human resource.

      Then divide the above-mentioned remaining ones into three age groups.
      So, if you're suddenly overcome by a wave of patriotism, before you sign a contract with the Special Military Forces, you'll have to undergo a medical examination, which will determine your health. The same applies to age; for example, units and subdivisions of the 12th Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation accept people up to 45 years of age. Education and civilian occupation also play a role.
      Considering that during the first 15 years of Russia's independence, there were many evaders and "sick men," many of them have military IDs with VUS 999 (code 999000A on a military ID means a citizen has the status of limited fitness for service in the absence of any military specialty), military commissars have fewer options.

        It can't because there will be no one to work. The problem existed before the war, but the mobilization of 300, plus the purchase of contract soldiers, and the irreparable losses and disability costs, have greatly exacerbated an already critical situation. Therefore, the mobilization of 23 million is out of the realm of fantasy; the RSPP members will stage a coup.

          That's understandable. I'm talking about theory. It's clear that we don't have uniforms or equipment for even 0,5 million military personnel (if you were to collect everything yourself, it would be quite a sizable duffel bag. Only medical supplies would cover a couple of kilograms).
          Here's the other extreme: I think many are counting on drone operators to solve everything, which is why there are no heavy infantry fighting vehicles based on the main battle tank, nor long-range, barrel-launched PA. What will we do when NATO manned and unmanned aircraft take over the skies above us? Many will be buried in their own cities, never knowing that we were deceived in Anchorage, just as we were in Minsk.

    Hmm ..
    And the Kremlin may go for such a mobilization.

    They won't agree to anything at all before the fall elections. Because even according to VTsIOM, the ratings of VVP and United Russia are already rapidly declining. But this is VTsIOM data, and whatever they decided to publish, I think the reality is far more catastrophic. And I doubt it's possible to successfully mobilize after the elections. There's already too much negativity toward both the SVO in particular and the government in general. They're writing that Gladkov (possibly as early as Monday) is on his way out. The governor of Bryansk Oblast and Dagestan could follow. Gladkov is certainly not the worst governor, BUT people are genuinely angry (and objectively, there's reason for it), so they're trying to channel the negativity before the elections. But I don't think it will help. During the first mobilization, not everything was calm in the Caucasus. In some places, they even tried to block highways. As is well known, the mobilization even bypassed one wonderful republic. In the current situation, mobilization, in my personal opinion, will trigger unrest even in areas populated predominantly by Russians. The time to rectify the situation with the SVO was wasted (a hallmark of some leaders), and now many people know what's happening at the front and understand the situation both there and in the country. Although at the beginning, the SVO was a strong supporter of VVP, arguing with people like me. And now they're using my own words, but they're attacking VVP and the authorities themselves. Well, what can I say, only existence determines consciousness. I know the picture roughly from my social stratum—people will now hide in even greater numbers, and that's the very least. Although at the beginning, the SVO was hesitant to join, and some actually volunteered. And I'm sure that... You can't treat people like cattle and still expect patriotism from them.And to this last sentence, as an illustration, I'm attaching all the astonishing bans, videos of livestock being slaughtered, tax hikes, and simply officials treating people like serfs... Thank you, authorities, but no, the rest is up to you... request

    Yes, they are quietly carrying out mobilization and hiding the numbers in a folder.
    Yes, if Gladkov is removed, it will only be for voicing the truth that hurts the Kremlin’s eyes and ears.
    Ratings are falling, censorship is gaining momentum.
    Harkonnen will do anything to keep his seat and power.
    In general, as I see it, the country has never been in such a situation - they are pressuring us both from outside and from within.

      Hidden, blocked, you're quietly getting your guns blown away. There's no mobilization right now, they're fighting with volunteers.

      Censorship is gaining momentum. What is this? They shut down Telegram, but there's also MAX. If MAX is shut down, then we can talk about censorship.

      Harkonnen is some kind of zelya or something, so there are no elections in Pukre, what does he have to worry about?

      The rating is falling, the economy is in tatters, it's the same old story since 2012.

      Judging by the comments, this situation in the country has been like this since at least 2012

        Well, if you judge Himmler by the film about Stirlitz, it would be more constructive for Germany. It would have been better for Germany to conclude a separate peace than to continue the war.
        .
        I'm not talking about moral qualities here. Himmler and Budanov are little better. They deliberately exterminated civilians. Constructiveness means recognizing the futility of further resistance.
        Zelya lives by the principle: the day has passed, and that's it.

    Budanov: If necessary, Russia can mobilize more than 23 million people

    Why? Besides, everyone at Zitler's headquarters is a complete idiot! The North Koreans will definitely send reinforcements, several divisions, to slaughter pigs...

    These Ukies are weird. First they're destroying us in droves, then they're short on supplies, while we're fully stocked! Sometimes our missiles and machine guns are rusty, sometimes we have the best weapons in the world! And the funniest thing is, they're just not smart enough to notice the lies they're being fed! I don't think the proverb "better late than never" will help them here!

    During World War II, even more were drafted into the Red Army, but somehow they managed to clothe and arm everyone, and women were able to take industry and agriculture into their own hands.

    Until Putin's children and other "elites" are in the army, and the constitution stipulates that everything in Russia belongs to the Russian people. This isn't my war. And there's not enough money to mobilize 23 million. Sure, we could muster them, but that's 1917. Those at the top understand this perfectly well, so the battle for the forester's lodge will last another five years. We can't eat that much popcorn and chips.
