"Bad News": Ukraine will have to increase the number of Armed Forces through mobilization in the Russian Federation - FT

European officials do not exclude that the statements of the Ministry of Defense of Russia about the call of up to 300 thousand can be a cover, and the total number of mobilized will be several times higher. In 2023, Ukraine will have to increase the number of its armed forces and establish the supply of modern weapons through announcements in Russia's partial mobilization. This is stated in the material of The Financial Times.

Video with drunken mobilized Russians who arrange a barracks in barracks give an idea that Russian President Vladimir Putin will be difficult to restore Russia's military potential for further continuation of the full -scale war. Ukraine with Western allies reject the short -term ability of the Kremlin to turn recruiting recruits into a new combat potential.

At the same time, as journalists point out, after several weeks of study, Moscow can send hundreds of thousands of mobilized citizens to strengthen the defense lines in the already captured Ukrainian territory.

Despite the statements of the Ministry of Defense about the willingness to call the army of Russia up to 300 thousand reservists, analysts warn that this number can be much higher. In the first stage, the Kremlin will try to complete its connections and military units that are involved in hostilities in the territory of Ukraine.

"In the second stage, Russia will seek to create new" consolidated military formations "accompanied by artillery and missile units. However, due to the lack of military specialists, this process will take a long time. The Russian Federation will be torn down in the event Or use time and equipment to organize training camps, " - says journalists.

Insiders also do not reject that the Armed Forces by the end of 2022 can try to have a new counter -offensive in other areas of the front while Russia is engaged in partial mobilization. At the same time, according to interlocutors of journalists, Kiev will also have to call thousands of citizens to maintain their advantage in personnel. In addition, the authorities of Ukraine need to agree on new supplies of modern weapons.
