This was stated by Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, on the air of the nationwide telethon, informing the public regarding the mobilization measures that aggressor country being actively conducted.

“At the same time, different approaches are used: so-called volunteer battalions, and reserve battalions, battalions of the so-called Special Combat Army Reserve (BARS), which they are now equipping in each military district in order to replenish losses, increase their efforts, and increase the number of the group that can be used against our state,” Vadym Skibitskyi said.

According to the DIU representative, russia currently has significant problems in terms of equipping its armed forces.

“Time is running out, they did not get a blitzkrieg. Will the mobilization of a larger number of people in the russian federation help? Probably not, after all, because the morale of military personnel decreases as they conduct combat operations. Secondly, there are fewer and fewer people who wish to sign up for a contract or voluntarily join the ranks of the armed forces of the russian federation. In addition, panic began among the population of large cities, because no one wants to serve in the armed forces, let alone go to war,” summed up the representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine.
