If russia will continue a new round of mobilization, it will suffer from the same problems as in the previous wave, including a lack of modern weapons and equipment in good working order and a sufficient number of combat-ready officers, as well as training the vast mass of untrained conscripts. This was stated by Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of military intelligence of Ukraine, during an interview with The Wall Street Journal.

"They are preparing for the second wave of mobilization, but we believe that they will postpone it because they have not tackled all the challenges encountered during the first wave. They were not ready for such a large-scale mobilization then, and neither they are ready now," said the representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
