https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...sive-to-mark-one-year-anniversary-ukraine-war
with the one-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine on 24 February, according to Ukraine’s defence minister, Oleksii Reznikov.
Speaking to French media, Reznikov warned that Russia would call on a large contingent of mobilised troops. Referring to Russia’s general mobilisation of 300,000 conscripted soldiers in September last year, he claimed that numbers at the border suggest the true size could be closer to 500,000.
“We do not underestimate our enemy,” Reznikov said. “Officially, they announced 300,000, but when we see the troops at the borders, according to our assessments it is much more.”
Hard to believe he can still get those massive numbers with everything that has gone on. I read around xmas time when they were planning another massive draft that possible conscripts were not allowed to leave country, of course not sure if true.
I understand the major propaganda machine that Russia is and its effectiveness but by now most people must have an idea how terrible things are on the battlefield and it could be a death sentence should you join army. You would also have to think that this batch of conscripts would be bottom of the barrel prob older and not the "soldier" type with low moral.
But at this point its all Putin has, just throw a bigger meatwall at the enemy.
Btw I know that Cole is pro russian poster .....therefore he gladly posts such stuff....
Yeah, it is nothing new for me.
Looks that EU had pushed Zelensky enough hard to start do something.
Ukr had launched at least 86 criminal cases during last 5 days....
Corruption, neglience, money laundering, helping Russia (!) awoid sanctions, overpriced prices for government financed contracts like food supplies, construction contracts, overpriced construction materials, generators etc beauties....in long row.
Most of the soldiers they're getting are village people.
So just to conclude tonight’s discussion. Everyone seems to be in agreement this is an extended conflict and won’t commit to a prediction until about 10-20 years out, and that prediction is Russias reputation will be tarnished from its current amazing reputation?
But in 20 years, who is betting Crimea will be under Ukraine control. Anyone committing to that 20 year long bet?
Dude not everyone who disagrees with you is pro-Russian, @Cole train i think its a fellow Baltic guy.
