Russian Space Chief Doubts US Moon Landings.
Dmitry Rogozin, the former head of Russia's space agency, has called for President Vladimir Putin to declare a general mobilization due to a shortage of personnel in the ongoing war in Ukraine. Rogozin heads a group of military advisers called the "Tsar's Wolves" which provides "military-technical support" to the combat units of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. Putin has so far declined to declare a full mobilization, but his September 2022 order supposedly targeted 300,000 reservists and ex-military personnel with "certain military specialties and relevant experience." Rogozin's calls for mobilization come ahead of an expected counteroffensive by Ukraine to try to reclaim territory occupied by Russia.
