Putin acknowledged, not for the first time, that the call-up of 300,000 reservists that he ordered in September had not gone smoothly. "The partial mobilisation that was carried out revealed certain problems, as everyone well knows, which should be promptly addressed," he said. Putin also referred to other unspecified problems in the military and said that constructive criticism should be heeded. It was the latest in a series of recent comments in which Putin has acknowledged, albeit obliquely, the challenges his army is facing. Shoigu proposed raising the age for mandatory Russian military service to a new range of 21-30, compared to 18-27 at the moment.

Explosions rocked two Russian military airbases hundreds of miles from the border with Ukraine on Monday, according to local officials and state media. Russian authorities said they were investigating the media reports about the explosions on the base. A Tu-95 strategic bomber from the Russian air force prepares to take off from an air base in Engels, Russia on Jan. 24, 2022. AP“Engels airfield is one of the most important bases of Russian air forces,” said Ukrainian interior ministry adviser Anton Gerashchenko in a tweet. Analysts said it was unclear that the new wave of Russian strikes were in any way retaliation for the blasts at the airbases.
☆ Russia says the West must recognize its control over land its forces are losing before any Ukraine peace talks

Russia does not fully control these regions and has been losing ground to Ukraine's forces. Biden said he'd hold talks with Putin if the Russian leader expresses a desire to end the war. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the illegal annexations of four Ukrainian regions in September, though Russian forces did not fully control these territories at the time. The president also said the only way for the Ukraine war to end is for Putin to recall his forces. "But at the same time — it is very important to give this in conjunction — President Putin has been, is and remains open for contacts, for negotiations.
☆ New poll suggests Americans' support for Ukraine is softening as GOP vows to slow the massive aid effort

A new Morning Consult poll shows Ukraine is not a top foreign policy priority for US voters. The Ukraine war ranks sixth among Democrats and 10th among Republicans in foreign priorities. This comes as House Republicans signal they'll move to slow US aid to Kyiv. Earlier on in the war, polling showed strong support among US voters for US aid to Ukraine. The incoming Republican majority in the House has signaled that it won't support massive aid packages to Kyiv.
☆ Russia's 'General Armageddon' under pressure to deliver on battlefield after retreat

Sergei Surovikin, nicknamed "General Armageddon" by the Russian media for his reputed ruthlessness, on Nov. 9 recommended Moscow's forces quit Kherson and the west bank of the River Dnipro where they were dangerously exposed. Simonyan urged Surovikin, a hulking shaven-headed figure who has been shown on TV speaking in clipped Russian military language, to ignore "nonsense" from critics, a reference to influential military bloggers unhappy about his retreat. Nor is taking new ground in the east against a highly motivated and Western-equipped Ukrainian military an easy task, especially in the winter. The appointment of Surovikin on Oct. 8 was the first time Russia had publicly named an overall commander for its forces in Ukraine. With the exception of the city of Lysychansk, in eastern Ukraine, he said all the territory Russia held looked defensible.

☆ Staged Annexation Vote Starts in Russian-Occupied Areas of Ukraine
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( Ian Lovett | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Russian officials opened polling stations on Friday in a staged election to annex the territory Russia controls in Ukraine, a move that Ukrainian and Western officials have derided as a sham by the Kremlin designed to deter further aid to Kyiv. The result of the so-called referendums on whether four Ukrainian regions that Moscow at least partially controls should join the Russian Federation was in little doubt as polling places opened. After annexing Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, Russian officials held a similar vote to confirm annexation. According to official results, 97% of voters cast ballots in favor of joining Russia.
☆ Russian soldier in Kharkiv told his father in a call intercepted by Ukrainian intelligence that 'everything's bad,' Russia is 'losing,' and they have 'nowhere to run'

A Russian soldier told his father in an intercepted phone call that "everything's bad" in the war. Ukraine's intelligence service said it intercepted the call and published it to social media. An ongoing Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kharkiv has sent Russian troops scrambling. Ukraine's intelligence service released on Monday what it said is a phone call between a Russian soldier in the northern Kharkiv region — where President Vladimir Putin's forces have been routed in recent days — and his father. "Everything's bad, pop," the soldier told his father when asked how things were going, according to a translation of the report by the Daily Beast.
