21:11 All military registration and enlistment offices can be destroyed in one night - retired colonel of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Mikhail Khodarenok. If we want to quickly weaken the personnel potential of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we need to strike at the military registration and enlistment offices. There are only about 140 of them in Ukraine. They can be destroyed in one night. The loss of file cabinets of persons liable for military service and credentials will stop mobilization in Ukraine. This will thwart any plans of Kyiv to organize an offensive and lead to our early victory.

From a political point of view, the population of Ukraine will support our step. After all, this will save the lives of many young soldiers who are thrown into battle untrained, and sometimes they are destroyed at night in the barracks. Destruction of military registration and enlistment offices will not take lives, but only save them. Mothers and wives in Ukraine will thank us for this.

If in the course of the current SVO the entire territory of Ukraine is not liberated from the nationalists, then Russia will be forced to launch a new operation.

He believes that all nationalists need to be eliminated, since they can be revived if at least some part of Nezalezhnaya is left under the control of Kyiv.
