The use of the Belarusian military as instructors for Russian reservists reflects the overload of the Kremlin's defense system, according to the United Kingdom
The latest intelligence report from the UK Ministry of Defense highlights that the Belarusian armed forces have recently taken a major role in training thousands of mobilized Russian reservists.
"The probable use of Belarusian instructors is an attempt to partially remedy the lack of Russian military instructors, many of whom are deployed in Ukraine or have become casualties," London underlines in this Thursday's report.
“Although Russia and Belarus have a long history of military cooperation, the training of mobilized Russian personnel by Belarusians represents a role reversal.
Belarusian forces have traditionally been viewed by Moscow as inferior to Russian ones and their employment as instructors is an indication of the overloading of the Russian military system."

Zelensky on Capitol Hill: “Economic aid to Ukraine is not charity;
it is an investment in global security”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may boast a bewildering collection of appearances in parliaments around the world since the Russian invasion began on February 24, but until now he has never spoken before any of them in person.
The United States Capitol received it this Wednesday night to listen to it – this time, not through a screen – in a special joint session that was announced as “historic”.
And Zelensky picked up that gauntlet, peppering his words with references to heroic episodes of the past: from the Battle of Saratoga, the turning point of the American War of Independence, to the rhetoric of President Franklin Roosevelt, leader of the country for much of World War II. World War,
going through the "resistance of the allies against the Nazis at Christmas 1944" in the Ardennes.
All of this led Zelensky to a conclusion: the battle that his Army is waging right now in the heart of Europe is crucial for the future of democracy, and that is why his troops need "all possible help" economically and military.
"We are in a position to change the course of the war," he declared.
"Your money is not charity, it is an investment in global security that we manage in the most responsible way."
"We are in a position to change the course of the war," he said.

“Against all odds, Ukraine did not fall.
It is alive and well, ”the leader proclaimed at the end of an intense day in Washington, in which he met with President Joe Biden at the White House.

Analysis |
Equidistances and deferences towards Putin
The solidarity, deference or cynical equidistance that many countries that belonged to the Third World and were anti-imperialist champions at the time of decolonization with respect to the autocratic and imperial Moscow of Vladimir Putin are still surprising.
Countries that have been colonized or suffered invasions and atrocious imperial oppressions barely distance themselves from the last European empire and its bellicose colonial attitude in the environment of the former Soviet Union.
They evade condemnation in international bodies, get bargain prices on their purchases of Russian oil and gas, and welcome their investments and their oligarchs as luxury refugees.
If in the past they resorted to the free self-determination of the peoples to shake off the colonial yokes and then to the United Nations Charter to defend their sovereignty, the invulnerability of the borders and non-interference in their domestic affairs, now they prefer to look the other way when it is about Russia's annexation of foreign territories and Putin's meddling in Ukraine's politics.

Zelensky assures in the Capitol that Ukraine can "change the course of the war"
Volodimir Zelenski visited the United States Capitol this Wednesday after meeting with Joe Biden at the White House.
It was the second time that the Ukrainian president addressed both Houses of Congress, but this time there was no screen in between.

From the Battle of Saratoga, the turning point of the American War of Independence, to President Franklin Roosevelt, leader of the country during much of World War II, or the "Allied resistance against the Nazis at Christmas 1944 ″.
All of this led Zelensky to a conclusion: the battle that his Army is waging right now in the heart of Europe is crucial, and that is why his troops need "all possible help" more than ever.
"We are in a position to change the course of the war," he declared.

Russia will extend the age to call up its citizens to 30 years
El presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, ha aprobado este miércoles la propuesta de ampliar hasta los 30 años la edad en la que pueden ser llamados a filas los ciudadanos rusos, medida que puede provocar un nuevo éxodo de hombres en edad militar. El ministro de Defensa, Serguéi Shoigú, propuso elevar en tres años la edad límite en la que un ruso puede ser citado para cumplir el servicio militar obligatorio, que ahora está situado en los 27, lo que fue aprobado por Putin y comunicado hoy en una reunión de la plana mayor del Ministerio de Defensa.
Desde la primera guerra de Chechenia (1994-96) son muchos los rusos que sobornaron a las oficinas de reclutamiento o enviaron a sus hijos a cátedras militares o al extranjero para evitar su llamada a filas, debido a los altos niveles de mortalidad y las malas condiciones de vida en el Ejército. Además, el ministro aseguró que se ofrecerá a cada recluta desde el primer día la posibilidad de firmar un contrato profesional con el Ejército. Precisamente, las organizaciones de derechos humanos denunciaron que, pese a las promesas de Putin, los reclutas sí combatieron en Ucrania y muchos otros fueron presionados para firmar contratos contra su voluntad. Cientos de miles de rusos abandonaron este país en los primeros meses de la "operación militar especial" en Ucrania, éxodo que se disparó tras el decreto de movilización firmado por Putin en septiembre.
Shoigú admitió hoy que la movilización se enfrentó a muchas dificultades, aunque destacó que, aparte de los 300.000 reservistas y los 20.000 voluntarios, 830.000 hombres fueron eximidos por trabajar en empresas o servicios vitales para el funcionamiento del Estado. Además, planteó a Putin la posibilidad de incrementar el número de efectivos del Ejército ruso hasta los 1,5 millones, la mitad de ellos profesionales, cuando ahora apenas rebasan el millón. La acuciante falta de hombres en el frente de batalla, un grave error de planificación estratégica por parte de Rusia, según los expertos, obligó a Moscú a renunciar a sus planes iniciales en Ucrania y a retirarse de las regiones de Járkov y Jersón. Recientemente, Defensa negó que se proponga incrementar de 12 a 24 meses el servicio militar obligatorio. (Efe)

Rusia propone aumentar las fuerzas armadas un 30% hasta 1,5 millones de soldados
El presidente ruso Vladímir Putin ha respaldado este miércoles un plan para aumentar el 30% las fuerzas armadas. En su conferencia de fin de año de los altos mandos militares de Rusia, el ministro de Defensa, Sergei Shoigu, ha propuesto reforzar las fuerzas armadas y pasar de 1,15 millones a 1,5 millones de solados de combate "para garantizar la resolución de problemas relacionados con la seguridad militar de Rusia". Es lo que ha dicho Shoigu a Putin en un evento televisado, en el que el ministro ha señalado que los 695.000 de los combatientes deberían ser soldados profesionales contratados a diferencia de los reclutas que cumplen el servicio militar obligatorio.
Los analistas militares estadounidenses y occidentales dicen que decenas de miles de soldados rusos han muerto en los 10 meses trascurridos desde que Moscú invadió Ucrania. El 21 de septiembre, la última vez que se compartió públicamente un recuento oficial, Shoigu señaló que 5.937 soldados rusos han muerto en Ucrania. (Reuters)

La revista The Economist designa a Ucrania país 2022
La revista británica The Economist ha designado en su última edición a Ucrania como país del año para 2022, por el “heroísmo de su gente y por plantarle cara a un matón”.
“En tiempos normales, elegir el país del año de The Economist es difícil. Nuestros escritores y editores generalmente comienzan con un debate libre en el que hablan sobre los reclamos de media docena de naciones preseleccionadas”, señala el artículo. Sin embargo, esta vez “la elección es obvia. Solo puede ser Ucrania”, puntualiza la revista.
Este título normalmente se lo lleva el país que, desde el punto de vista de la publicación, ha mejorado más que otros en los últimos 12 meses. Ucrania es “una opción inusual”, ya que la vida de la mayoría de los ucranios ha empeorado espectacularmente desde la invasión ordenada por el presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, en febrero, agrega. Mucha gente ha muerto, las ciudades han sido destrozadas y millones han huido de sus hogares, subraya el artículo. Sin embargo, los ucranios han demostrado su valía este año, puntualiza la publicación. (Efe)
