While the Russian army is intensifying its offensive in eastern Ukraine, it is also expected to attack the capital Kyiv and restrain the countries participating in the G7 Summit = the summit of the seven major countries.
On the other hand, it has been pointed out that Russia's Putin administration is trying to increase the number of contracted military personnel to make up for the shortage of troops, and it seems that there is an aim to advance the war situation in an advantageous manner.
Russian troops are stepping up their offensive to take full control of the two eastern states of Ukraine, and the Russian Defense Ministry announced on the 25th that it has taken full control of Severodonetsk, which has become the base of the Ukrainian side in eastern Luhansk Oblast.
Russian troops appear to be intensifying their offensive against Lysychans'k, which is adjacent to Severodonetsk.
Russian troops also attacked the capital, Kyiv, with missiles on the 26th, killing one and injuring six, including women and children, according to local police.
Regarding this, Ukraine's President Zelensky said, "Russia is escalating attacks every time there is an international event," and the participating countries are keeping in mind the G7 summit held in Germany = the summit of the seven major countries. He accused him of having the aim of restraining him.
In addition, US President Joe Biden, who is visiting Germany to attend the G7 summit, accused the attack on Kieu of being "barbaric" on the 26th, and will deepen discussions with the leaders of each country on increasing pressure on Russia. I showed my thoughts.
Regarding this, the American think tank "War Institute" also said on the 26th, "It is a large-scale capital attack since late April, and like the previous attack that took place during the visit of UN Secretary-General António Guterres, at the G7 summit. It seems to be a direct reaction to Western leaders discussing support for Ukraine. "
Meanwhile, the British Ministry of Defense analyzed on the 27th that Russia's operations will become more and more dependent on reserve troops in the future.
Specifically, it is possible to utilize contracted military personnel who volunteered and veterans who have worked in the military for the past five years.
Also, on the 26th, the House of Representatives of the Russian Parliament submitted an amendment to the law on military service, and if a person who has completed an educational institution that is a high school in Japan volunteers even if he / she does not meet the military service for the period stipulated by the current law, he / she will make a contract. It was proposed to change to be a military man.
As Russia's troop shortage has been pointed out over the military invasion of Ukraine, it seems that there is an aim to make up for it.
The American think tank "War Institute" has pointed out that "the Kremlin is manipulating the law to carry out" secret mobilization "without full mobilization," and the Putin administration has strong resistance from the people. It seems that the aim is to advance the war situation in an advantageous manner by increasing the number of contracted military personnel instead of the expected total mobilization.
