Against the background of defeats at the front, Putin decided to announce a partial mobilization in Russia. After all, the Russian army is suffering significant losses, which the Kremlin authorities urgently need to make up for.
About this Channel 24said Alexander Musienko, head of the Center for Military Legal Research. He noted that the Kremlin understands that if the successful actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue, then in the end they will de-occupy the entire Ukrainian land. h2>
Musienko noted that everything will depend on how this mobilization will take place in Russia and how much they will be able to form units as a result and arm them accordingly.
Why Russia may need military reinforcements. First of all, to contain some more occupied territories of Ukraine,” said the head of the Center for Military Legal Research.
After all, he noted, the counter-offensive actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue, there are new sacked settlements. The process goes to the fact that the Russian troops go on the defensive.
The only limit where Russia is now performing assault actions is Bakhmut. All. And, in principle, the intensity of shelling, compared to what it was before, sometimes decreases, and then increases again,” Musienko said.
But the point is, he stressed, that the Russian military cannot take Bakhmut, although it has been stormed for more than a month.

Russia urgently needs to replenish its army
Musienko noted that the occupying army suffers significant losses in personnel, as well as in equipment. And it needs to be replenished urgently. After all, if such trends continue, then the Armed Forces of Ukraine will move forward step by step and eventually de-occupy the Ukrainian land.
Putin cannot just let this happen. Therefore, against the backdrop of violent defeats in Ukraine, in lost battles, he is trying to hold on, at least in fact, to this last scenario that he can have – for this mobilization, – he stressed.
That is, the head of the Center for Military Legal Studies noted, Putin wants to put up a human shield that the Ukrainian defenders will have to destroy in order to move further and retake territories.
Change whether the mobilization of the situation at the front
Musienko believes that now Russia will only think about how to hold separate lines. Therefore, they need to constantly feed their factions.
It will be very difficult to form a new strike force in six months – a year from these people. Look at them. In what state do they come to the draft board or go to the meeting? All drunk, with fights, quarrels, – said the head of the Center for Military Legal Research.
According to him, it will be difficult even to keep this army somewhere for exercises in the field for several months. It will be absolutely demoralized and unsuitable for combat operations. While the Russian contractors, who have been advancing since February 24, were prepared directly for the war.
By the way!Despite statements by Vladimir Putin and Sergei Shoigu that only men with military experience are mobilized in Russia, the reality is different. According to experts from the American Institute for the Study of War, some leaders of the subjects of the federation admitted that they mobilized technically unfit citizens. On September 21, Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization in Russia, under which 300,000 people will be called up. The head of the terrorist country argued this step by “defending” the temporarily occupied territories in Ukraine.
