A guest of one of the programs of “Komsomolskaya Pravda” claims that 18-year-olds will have to be sent to the front, because in the case of older Russian conscripts, pensions will have to be paid to their widows and children if they die in battle. .

The host of the show, Ivan Pankin, asks the guest about his previous statements that the professional Russian army is not suitable for the current scale of fighting on the fronts in Ukraine.

“It is not suitable for battles of this scale. “Suddenly” it turned out that after the liberation of the territories (we are not talking about the Ukrainian territories annexed by Russia), a 1,000-kilometer front was formed. A contract army of 150,000 men cannot hold this rear and advance at the same time. They can’t, it’s physically impossible,” replies Dmytro “Goblin” Putsov, presented by “Pravda” as a “film and video translator.”

The reason why he was invited by newspaper journalists to express his vision of the situation at the front as a military analyst, besides the fact that he is a well-known personality in Russia, seems to be related to the fact that he grew up in an officer’s family during the Soviet Union and served for 6 years a driver in the army.

“There aren’t enough people, there aren’t enough weapons, there aren’t enough of everything. For this reason, a partial mobilization was announced,” Putsov insists, then complaining that Russia was not ready for the war that Vladimir Putin started on February 24.

“Secondly, or maybe, actually, firstly, what will happen if he doesn’t finish quickly? What will we do then?”, a casual military observer rhetorically asks.

“150 thousand will not be enough. Yes, it will be necessary to create an army of normal people, where everyone who is fit for service will have to serve at least two years or three years in the navy. You can’t get training on a shorter internship,” he explains.

“Then it will turn out that those 18-year-old recruits will have to be sent to the front to participate in battles. And not to count 40-year-old men with a higher education, business, wife and 3 children, whose death at the front will lead to the need to pay pensions to the wife, children, etc. 18-year-olds will go,” says Putsov, known in Russia for dubbing famous Hollywood films.

In August of this year, YouTube removed his account from its video platform for violating community standards.

“No matter how cynical it sounds, they will have to be sent. You can’t get around it, it’s impossible to get around,” Puchev insists on his “decision”.

“All this talk about people who used to fight and serve in hot spots… Citizens, do you clearly understand the physical condition of a 40-year-old Russian? Or 50 years? Can he run, jump or sleep on the cold ground? How is his prostate? How are his kidneys doing after constant drinking? What is he to you, some kind of monster? No,” continued the guest.

“The children will have to go and serve in the army. They will serve for two years and participate in battles. This is the only way. And this is what kind of army we can count on, I think so,” concludes Dmytro “Goblin” Puchev.
