The day before, the Kremlin chief said that his appeal would take place in early 2023, arguing that he should “understand the situation better”.
Russian President Vladimir Putin will address the Russian Federal Assembly on February 20 or 21. The Russian propaganda media RIA Novosti writes about it, citing its sources in the State Duma.
The source reportedly emphasized that the appeal was not scheduled for February 24, the anniversary of the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Details on what the Kremlin head will talk about are not reported.
The publication reminded that Putin did not address the Bundestag last year due to a busy schedule, as his press secretary Dmitry Peskov said. Earlier, Putin had already indicated that his appeal would take place in early 2023, as he needed additional time to “understand the situation”.
RosSMI writes that it is the constitutional duty of the President of the Russian Federation for Putin to appeal to deputies of the State Duma and members of the Federation Council. However, as Andrei Klishas, chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, explained, the basic law in this case does not set deadlines for the president’s speech.
Previously Focus According to Bloomberg reporters, Putin wrote that he is preparing for a new offensive and plans to use more force on the front. Mobilization in the Russian Federation may begin in the spring, and new attacks in February-March. The Kremlin is eager to show that Russian troops can regain the initiative on the battlefield.
We also remember that the GUR laid out the details of the preparations for a new mobilization wave. According to Ukrainian intelligence officials, the mobilization will affect the central regions of the country. At the same time, entrepreneurs are required to make “voluntary contributions” and campaign to join the military.
The Kremlin has also reportedly confirmed that partial mobilization in the Russian Federation continues. Dmitry Peskov said that Vladimir Putin will not announce a change in the “special military operation” regime in Ukraine on January 18 or a new wave of conscription. Meanwhile, Russian military bloggers are already preparing to “conflict with NATO.”
