Chuyên gia: Lệnh động viên của Putin không được lòng dân | VOA Tiếng Việt



Sep 23, 2022

Các quan chức hàng đầu của Hoa Kỳ gọi kế hoạch của Tổng thống Nga Putin huy động 300.000 quân Nga tham chiến ở Ukraine là một chỉ dấu cho sự yếu kém, và lưu ý rằng Moscow đang “gặp khó khăn”. Các chuyên gia cho rằng lệnh của ông Putin huy động quân dự bị có thể làm gia tăng sự phản đối bên trong nước Nga về cuộc xâm lược Ukraine đã kéo dài 7 tháng qua, trong khi tác dụng của việc tăng quân đối với hiệu quả của Nga trên chiến trường vẫn chưa chắc chắn.

Top U.S. officials are calling Russian President Putin's plans to mobilize 300,000 Russian troops to fight in Ukraine, a sign of weakness, and note Moscow is "struggling.” Experts say Putin's call for reservists could increase opposition inside Russia to the seven-month invasion of Ukraine, while its impact on Russia's effectiveness on the battlefield remains uncertain. VOA's Senior Diplomatic Correspondent Cindy Saine reports.

Russian citizens flee the country amid Putin's mobilisation pledges



RUSSIAN citizens flee the country amid Putin's mobilisation pledges and concern for their safety.

A long queue of cars could be seen snaking back from the Mashtakovo Russia-Kazakhstan border crossing on September 22, 2022 after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilisation a day before.

Elsewhere, traffic continued to increase at Finland's border with Russia after Putin orders war call-up.




Russians queue for miles at border crossings after Putin's mobilization announcement




Russian men rushed for the exits on Thursday after President Vladimir Putin ordered a partial mobilisation, with traffic at border crossings with Finland and Georgia surging and prices for air tickets from Moscow rocketing.

Traffic at the Russia-Georgia border intensified overnight, said Ivan, a Russian driver who managed to get to Georgia.

“Yesterday before midnight you could cross the border much more quickly. After midnight, either lots of cars arrived or the border guards started to work more slowly," Ivan told Reuters news service from behind the wheel of his car. He added that he and his acquaintances don't fit the age criteria for the current wave of mobilization “at the moment,” but that “We don't know what will happen next.”

Long queues of cars were also reported on Russian borders with Kazakhstan and Mongolia, while Russian passengers could be found in Turkish airports.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a conference call on Thursday that reports of exodus of fighting-age men from Russia were “exaggerated”.

On Wednesday, Putin ordered Russia's first mobilization since World War II and backed a plan to annex swathes of Ukraine, warning the West he was not bluffing when he said he'd be ready to use nuclear weapons to defend Russia.
