Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, told that russian authority began a covert mobilisation after the first significant setbacks of russian army in the programme “Orestokratiyia”.

“Back in May, the first evidences appeared that the russian federation was unable to cope with the tasks it had set before itself. The quick capture of Kyiv and the full occupation of Ukraine failed. During that period, the first so-called volunteers began to appear, the "combat army reserve of the country" was involved, russian private military companies began to actively recruit people, and so-called patriotic battalions appeared, which were to be recruited by all federal entities of the russian federation. there were many examples of covert mobilization, but no one talked about it,” the representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine said.
