What effect is expected to have Russian-declared mobilization

Until Russia sends new forces to the battlefield unprepared, they will not be involved in fighting until next spring.

And in view of Russia's huge meterial losses, Moscow may have difficulty providing these units with means needed to fight successfully.

Using sophisticated Western equipment, the Ukrainian Army has achieved remarkable successes against Russia's occupational machines, destroying weapons depots, command posts, and bases behind front lines.

It has become very difficult for the Kremlin to organize and equip forces involved in combat, leave it with new forces.

And what about the forces already serving in Ukraine? Their morale is thought to be but low.

Now some of these troops are learning that contracts are being extended, just as prospects for a difficult winter. /Periscopi/
