This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin prepares for future insurrections within Russia by supplying Rosgvardia (Russia’s National Guard) with tanks, according to Ukrainian Military Intelligence spokesman Andriy Yusov.
“This is a very important signal, primarily to the Russians,” Yusov told Ukrainian TV broadcasters on Aug. 10.
If heavy weaponry is being supplied to it, it means that they are essentially preparing for future suppression of uprisings.”
On Aug. 4, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin signed a law allowing the National Guard to be armed with heavy military equipment.
In addition to this, Putin signed a law on conscription of Russians aged 18 to 30 for military service and another law prohibiting citizens from traveling abroad from the day of receiving a draft notice, specifically at their place of work or study.
Earlier, media reported that in July 2023, Putin signed a record number of classified decrees, with 62% of the documents remaining unpublished.
