Amid Israeli attacks on Iran, Alaudinov calls for mobilization of a million people

Apti Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat unit and deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, called for mobilization to be declared in Russia amid Israel's attack on Iran.

According to him, Russians need to unite so that "no one would think of playing with us like they did with all the countries, now with Iran."

"We need to declare mobilization, we need to prepare at least 500 thousand in advance, and in this case it is realistic to call up a million people and start preparing them," he said.
