Zelensky commented on Russia’s intentions regarding the expansion of mobilization
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky stated that the political leadership of Russia plans to expand mobilization for future offensives in the war against Ukraine.
Zelensky made this statement after a briefing with the Head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence Oleh Ivashchenko, where it became known about Russia’s intention to increase its military contingent. According to Zelensky, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are showing significant success in destroying Russian military forces, exceeding Moscow’s mobilization potential. This was also noted by the Head of the Drone Systems Forces Robert Brovdi, known as Madiar.
“There are specific documents from the Russian General Staff that confirm the inability of the occupiers to fulfill the tasks of their political leadership,” the president said. He emphasized that over 60% of Russian forces have already been irretrievably lost.
Despite significant losses, Russia continues mobilization processes for new offensive operations. Zelensky stressed the importance of increasing the invulnerable losses of the enemy, strengthening the line of drone applications at the front, and scaling up sanctions against the Russian defense and oil sectors.
The president also promised to inform international partners about Moscow’s plans to carry out aggression against NATO and to involve Belarus in these processes. Zelensky warns about the possibility of large mobilization in Russia, which will provoke public dissatisfaction, especially in centralized cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk expressed concern that Russia could attack a NATO member in the coming months. Meanwhile, Estonia does not confirm these threats, and LIGA.net previously reported on possible scenarios of Russian aggression against NATO.
