Putin is taking a significant political risk, the Russian Federation has exhausted its supply of volunteers – British intelligence
Despite the fact that on September 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization, during which they plan to call up 300,000 reservists, Russia, most likely, will still face logistical and administrative problems.
This is reported by the intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain. The department assumes that the new formations are unlikely to be combat-ready for several months.
– Even this partial mobilization will most likely be extremely unpopular among the population of Russia. Putin is taking a significant political risk in the hope of creating the necessary combat power.
This step is actually an acknowledgment that Russia has exhausted the supply of volunteers who want to fight in Ukraine, – the intelligence explained.
