Putin threatens military escalations: Ukraine under pressure!

In the current area of tension between Russia and Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin has drawn a clear line: no extension of the gastrana coming with Ukraine next year. According to Putin's statements, the fault for this decision is at Kiev, which does not want to extend the contract and thus wants to punish Europe sensitively. The existing agreement, the essential gas deliveries to Slovakia, Czech Republic and Austria, soon ends, such as Kleine Zeitung reported. The largest Slovak gas supplier SPP sees the current situation critically and, together with other industry representatives, calls for the continuation of the gas infrastructure in Ukraine. This is intended to keep the energy connections to Europe.

military mobilization and evacuations

at the same time, Putin announced that the mobilization of reservists near the Ukraine conflict should be completed in about two weeks. This measure had become necessary to increase the military pressure on Ukrainian armed forces and to defend the illegally accepted terrain. Despite considerable domestic political unrest and military failures, Putin remains determined and sees his measures as correct. It was reported that 222,000 of the desired 300,000 reservists were already registered, but the course of mobilization remains turbulent, as from a report from AP News . Critics fear that this mobilization is only a short -term measure and that the chaos could last.

In the Cherson region claimed by Russia, the authorities installed there are urging the civilian population to evacuate. This is done out of fear of an upcoming push of Ukrainian troops, which have recaptured several cities and villages in the past few months. The military pressure on the areas already occupied is growing, which leads to a massive migration of civilians. Voices that classify Putin as faulty are getting louder, even among his own supporters. The current situation is a explosive and uncertain situation for both the Russians and the Ukrainians, while the fights on the field last.
