The Ministry of Defense, in fact, reported just that the identified discovered opportunity was stopped, completed, in connection with which the demand of citizens was reached as part of partial mobilization, it was stopped, completed, ”Peskov.
At the same time, he explained that mobilization is not only a call.

From my side, ex-Minister of Defense of the DPR Igor Strelkov spoke to NSN, that Russia needs more to succeed in Ukraine 300-400 thousand soldier.
“The offensive can start at any moment, but at present the Russian troops are not ready for a sharp aggravation of the situation and are pushing the Armed Forces of Ukraine deep into the country. It is currently not in a position to create a group with the overwhelming majority of Russian troops on any mission, but simply at the end with some kind of assessment of superiority – this is a gamble. For a successful major offensive, we had to put another 300-400 thousand soldiers into service, ”said Strelkov.
He also not accepted with the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, who expressed the opinion that the fate of special operations could be decided in the coming weeks.
“I believe that nothing will be decided in the next two or three weeks, there are no prerequisites for this. There are no forces to defeat Ukraine, there are no reserves that have superiority either in people or in technology. Russia is based on its victory in the course of the mobilization carried out, it has not created or frozen the mobilization, there will be no victory, it is not about weeks and not about the coming months. Mobilization measures could serve this oil. From the side of nature, it’s about the same: there are advantages in terms of the impact of parameters, but there is no force to defeat Russian troops, ”explained Strelkov.
