| Opposition to Russia's chaotic mobilization grows | |
| 2022-09-25 | |
[ALARABUYA] The stridently pro-Kremlin editor of Russia’s state-run RT news channel expressed anger on Saturday that enlistment officers were sending call-up papers to the wrong men, as frustration about a military mobilization grew across Russia.
Now, it is also attracting criticism of the authorities from among the Kremlin’s own official supporters, something almost unheard of in Russia since the invasion began seven months ago. "It has been announced that privates can be recruited up to the age of 35. Summonses are going to 40-year-olds," the RT editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan, railed on her Telegram channel. "They’re infuriating people, as if on purpose, as if out of spite. As if they’d been sent by Kyiv." | |

| #8 Finland moves to block more Russians on eastern border Finland is going to "significantly" restrict the entry of Russian citizens to its territory by refusing access to those with tourist visas from any European country in the Schengen area. "Those who cross the border for tourism will be prevented from entering. There will have to be another reason," he explained. messenger-dsk vk Finland is going to "significantly" restrict the entry of Russian citizens to its territory by refusing access to those with tourist visas from any European country in the Schengen area. The Nordic nation, which has seen an increase in Russians entering its land border since Moscow announced the mobilisation of reservists for the war in Ukraine, is aligning itself with the decision taken at the beginning of September by Poland and the three Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania), the four other European Union countries bordering Russia. Finland has the EU's longest border with Russia at over 1300km. "After the government's decision, it can come into force very quickly," Finnish Foreign Minister Pekka Haavisto said at a Friday press conference, without giving a specific date. "Those who cross the border for tourism will be prevented from entering. There will have to be another reason," he explained. The new Finnish decision applies both to visas granted by Finland and those issued by any other Schengen country, the Finnish diplomatic chief said. |

| #3 More like the other way around. Ukraine sent it's untrained men into the meat grinder to bide time. Spent, overextended and broke. October will have the western media have a crying fit. It is so absurd to believe in any other consequence of Western mismanagement. Just another Biden dirty attends. "Chaotic mobilization" hardly, recruitment of formerly military men. Western propaganda is so obvious. Say what you will but in October things will happen fast as Russia directs its focused efforts. Heavy rail traffic occurring now. The gloves are off. You wish Putin gone but his replacement will be far more strident. This is a vast complex operation. Ukraine is just a very small prick in world events. |
