The mobilization of 250 thousand people could extend Ukraine’s conflict with Russia by another six months. This assumption was made in an interview by the military correspondent of the Ukraina.ru publication Vasily Tkach. ura.ru.
The newly appointed commander of the Da Vinci Wolves battalion of the Ukrainian army, Sergei Filimonov, calls for the mobilization of at least 250 thousand people, because without this Kiev cannot continue the war. According to the Strana.ua portal, former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny had previously called for the mobilization of 450 thousand people.
According to Tkach, about 30 thousand people die every month on the Ukrainian side, at the intensity of the current conflict, that is, from 600 to 1,500 people per day. He claims that 250 thousand mobilizations will be sufficient for 6 months. There will be a presidential election in the US by then, and that may be because they have to wait until they hope Joe Biden will be re-elected.
He also explained that such a large number of people are needed to maintain the operation of enterprises and the current capabilities of the mobilization system. According to him, Ukraine has a system similar to “Civil Services” where citizens are registered and understand their real numbers. However, economists warn that if more than 230 thousand people are drafted into the military, this will affect all businesses operating in Ukraine.
Tkach concluded: “It seems that they are not yet ready for such an all-out mobilization that would completely transform the state into an army.”
