"US May Give Ukraine Putin's Coordinates For Tomahawk Strike"

This is not about Moscow, but about the residences of the Russian dictator.

The aggressor country Russia is preparing the ground for the use of reservists in the war against Ukraine. "Special exercises" can take place directly on the battlefield on the territory of the neighboring state. But despite the fact that reservists are virtually an unlimited resource, the problem is its provision with everything necessary, from uniforms to weapons. The enemy makes the main bet on "meat", as his ability to increase military-technical potential is extremely limited.

The majority of Russians are well aware that the problems of the Russian Federation has a name - Vladimir Putin - and would like the war to end as soon as possible. The dictator himself is truly afraid of Tomahawk missiles, the transfer of which is being discussed in the United States, and which could be aimed at decision-making centers in Russia. This is not about Moscow, but about the Kremlin dictator's residences, which could become a legitimate target of Ukraine.

This opinion in an exclusive interview with OBOZ.UA was expressed by Russian opposition activist Olga Kurnosova.

- The Kremlin is preparing to announce the mobilization of reservists to participate in the war against Ukraine, but large-scale forced mobilization of reservists is hardly planned. Do you think this is some kind of new move by the Kremlin to solve the personnel problem of its army? Will it have any effect? And the main question is why the need for additional forces has arisen, since Russia is continuing mobilization, which is yielding results?

- So it is not yielding enough results. What will happen with reservists will not be mobilization. There will be a legislative opportunity to send reservists to special exercises outside the Russian Federation. Actually, this is what will allow reservists to be used during the war.

Yes, this information has recently appeared, but it only emphasizes that, on the one hand, Putin lacks manpower, and on the other hand, he is afraid of a new wave of mobilization, because it could cause unrest in the country.

- Do I understand correctly that these people, the reservists, will be on exercises, but they will be on the territory of another state and will take part in real combat operations? Do they themselves agree to that?"

- That's a big question. They read the news feed and can tell the difference between regular reserve training camps and special training camps. But I think that reservists are not teenagers or even young men, so they should be able to think something, although, as we know from the history of the first wave of mobilization, most often people who have material problems or addictions fall under it. If they haven't all been killed yet, the rest will be added now.

- According to your estimates, how large a volume of reservists can be gathered today thanks to such mobilization? The question is different: how many reservists will they have enough uniforms, equipment, weapons, and so on. And that is the only question. And a separate question - why exactly do they need to use on the territory of another state?

I remind you that the occupied territories of Ukraine in Russia have been written into their Constitution, so we can talk about either those territories that are not yet written into their Constitution, or other states, such as the Baltic States.

- We see that Putin is gathering more and more "meat", and more "meat" - more losses. Why can't the Kremlin invent some other, less costly way of waging war? Is there not enough talent?

- The question is not only about talent. Let me give you an example. Back in Soviet times, there was a problem with engineering personnel. Why? Not because there was a lack of talent, but because the Soviet authorities decided that it was more profitable for them to steal ideas than to invent them themselves. That's why there was always such a gap. From the point of view of theory everything was fine in the Soviet Union, but from the point of view of practice it was mostly samples stolen from other countries. And it is clear why - because it is really cheaper to steal than to go through all the stages of testing, experimentation and so on.

And now it has become even easier to steal, so Putin followed this path. But when the sanctions mechanism came into full play, it turned out to be difficult to do something really new. Besides, some Soviet factories remained, including in Ukraine, and some simply collapsed during perestroika. Many were privatized and re-profiled. Therefore, it is not so easy to restore military production now.

The more so that during the Second World War much was received with the help of Lend-Lease, first of all, from the United States, which supplied arms to the Soviet Union. And not just armaments, but a lot of materials and components. Without lend-lease, the Soviet Union would not have had the amount of weapons that would have defeated Hitler. So it didn't work even then, and even more difficult now.

- In your opinion, what is the greatest danger for the regime in Russia today - colossal losses at the front, general mobilization or just an economic crisis? Or is the average Russian today, as before, ready to tolerate?

- As we see in opinion polls, even in Russia, 80% of Russians would like peace almost today, in the extreme case tomorrow. And the rest is details. Therefore, some special cannibals in the country is observed at most 20%. Russians understand perfectly well where all these problems come from - shortage of gasoline, and this, and that, and the fifth, and the tenth, and, of course, economic difficulties. They understand that the name of these problems is Vladimir Putin.

And so far the only thing that keeps them from any protest actions is, firstly, the lack of understanding of who will replace Putin, and secondly, the fear that everyone will be put to death.

By the way, I would also draw your attention to how nervously the Russian authorities are reacting to the consideration in PACE of the issue of the presence of a delegation of the Russian opposition there. Yesterday (October 14. - Ed.) the FSB recognized the entire anti-war committee as terrorists and opened a case against them under the extremist article, something like an anti-state coup. There are already 23 people on this case. We are talking about people who participated in negotiations with PACE.

This shows what the regime is really afraid of - legitimization of the Russian opposition, first of all, in Europe, it is afraid of Trump's Tomahawks. It's enough to follow the actions of the FSB and Peskov's interview, and it becomes more or less clear what they fear the most.

- You actually answered the question I wanted to ask you - about the Tomahawks. Does the Kremlin really admit that Ukraine could hit a decision-making center, such as Moscow, with these missiles?

- Why Moscow? There are Vladimir Putin's residences. As we have read in various materials, there was a tacit agreement according to which the United States did not share intelligence with Ukraine about Putin's whereabouts, but they may share it.

Why do I say that it is not necessarily Moscow? Because Putin has many residences, at different times he goes to different ones. So, the center of decision making in this case is not Moscow, but the place where Putin is at the moment.

- So, if and when Ukraine gets the Tomahawks, it could be a deterrent for Putin?"

- Absolutely. Because Tomahawks can fly almost anywhere in Russia. Another thing is that, of course, around Putin's residences there are almost all the Pantsirs in service with the Russian army. But, nevertheless, it's not a big deal. A lot depends on a number of reasons. Why are Tomahawks so dangerous? As we know, they fly quite low and are quite difficult to detect.
