You conscript, I also conscript? The Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces says: the Russian army will form 10 divisions, and Ukraine's mobilization is not enough
Ukraine's mobilization is still far from sufficient - this was the statement by the Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Zelenskyy, on social media on the 5th. He claimed that the Russian army is still increasing its forces at a rate of 9,000 people per month, and the Russian leadership plans to form 10 new divisions by the end of this year. Therefore, "Ukraine has no choice but to continue mobilizing".
Zelenskyy's statement may come from a recent rumor that has appeared on the Russian internet, which claims that Russia may launch a new mobilization in the autumn this year. However, this claim has been denied by the Russian Ministry of Defense. Its Minister, Belousov, said that the Russian military needs professional contract soldiers, and there are currently no plans for a new mobilization.
However, given the current battlefield situation, it is still Ukraine that needs to expand its mobilization scale more urgently.
Recently, the British media, Financial Times, published an article stating that as the Russian army exerts pressure on multiple fronts simultaneously, and Trump is unable to fulfill his promise of ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 24 hours, a gloomy mood has once again spread among the Ukrainian frontline troops. In addition, due to a lack of manpower, the Ukrainian army had to withdraw from towns such as Toretsk and Chasiv Yar.
In a way, Ukraine is now relying solely on drones to slow down the Russian advance. Zaluzhnyi, the former chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, stated that miracles that would bring peace to Ukraine cannot be expected. Ukraine is now facing a serious shortage of human resources and a disastrous economic situation. The top priority is to achieve the greatest military results with the least human and economic resources.
