Question: Material and human resources that Russia is using for the war in Ukraine are beginning to run low. This could push the Russian leadership towards desperate measures, such as another mobilization into the armed forces. Even now, many people are being summoned to military enlistment offices under the pretext of checking their personal data. I live in Russia and I myself have received a draft notice. Are Putin and those close to him planning to forcibly send people to war again, as they did at the end of 2022?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2026 Kazakhstan Conference.
Well, let me just say one thing clearly. Yes, they are planning, but whether they are going to execute those plans is not yet determined. And the reason why it is not determined is, as I just explained in another answer, that nobody in Russia really understands how difficult the situation of the armed forces is. Because again, you have this situation where Putin and the people around him dictate that it is unthinkable that Russia could lose this war. And therefore, as long as Putin and his government is in position of power, this is the official line.
And that means that they do not want to know if Russia is actually losing. And there is nobody at the lower levels who wants to give them the really bad information because they could be punished for giving that information. People who know that there are problems tend to under-represent those problems when they report upwards. And those at higher levels do not want to pass the information to the next level up, and therefore, there is an information gap. Now, as I said in the second answer, in a system like this, problems continue to escalate until some kind of crisis precipitates that suddenly makes the problems undeniable. But by the time they are acknowledged by the top, it is too late to turn the crisis around. It is possible that a crisis will manifest that finally makes the top realize that Russia is losing the war on the battlefield. And this could cause them to then enact this desperate measure of another mobilization. But even if they did this, they could not turn the situation around. And of course, by carrying out such a mobilization, the resistance in the Russian people against the war would increase manifold.
As you know yourselves in Russia, the first mobilization was not popular. That is why it did not last a very long time, and that is why it hasn’t been repeated. You can ask yourself: “A country that is running low on finances, why would they offer big bonuses to soldiers who signed up instead of just drafting them into the military?” But that is because they know the mobilization is unpopular. From the ascended perspective, as we have said before, this war put Russia firmly in the school of hard knocks. And it is only a matter of how hard will the knocks become before something changes. And it is not likely that the change is going to come from Putin himself or those who are blindly loyal to him. What is more likely is that there will be a shift in the Russian people’s support for Putin. As we have said before, he has gone beyond his natural lifespan. He is held artificially in embodiment by the Russian people. But if that equation changes, he could die of natural sources, be assassinated, or be deposed. A mobilization would only push that eventuality forward into the physical.
And at some level of his being, Putin knows that this would be a very drastic step to take with a very high risk for himself, which is why he has so far been reluctant to take it. We also have a strange situation going on in the Russian leadership, where Putin is beginning to realize that this war is not going to end well for him or for Russia. He does not acknowledge this consciously, but at some level of his being, he realizes this. And because he himself is insecure, those around him who have known him for a long time, they sense this. And therefore, they are also beginning to realize that it is not going to end well. That means they are trying to, as much as they can, distance themselves from Putin so they can blame him. Because they are hoping, I am not saying it is a realistic hope, but they are hoping they can stay in power even if Putin falls. But in order to do that, they must label this as Putin’s war. You see what you have here. Putin is reluctant to order another mobilization. The people around him are reluctant to support him in ordering another mobilization.
They do not want to give him any reason to order this mobilization, because they want to be able to say later: “Oh, it was Putin only who made that decision. We did not support it. We just could not stop it.” That is another factor that could delay, perhaps until there is a crisis, the mobilization. And therefore, it may not happen. But certainly the plans are there. There is no question about it.
