Russia will either have to stop the war or to declare mobilization again - Budanov
"Now the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is trying to remedy the situation. The enemy understands - if the protracted war continues, no later than in the summer of 2025 Russia will face a dilemma: either to stop it all, or to declare re -large -scale mobilization," he said. Budanov also stated that Russia would "pull to the last". The Russian leadership believes that large -scale mobilization can seriously shake the political situation.
The head of GUR also recalled that in 2022, partial mobilization was announced in Russia. Now the Russians offer very big money for participating in the war against Ukraine. However, those are not enough. "Everyone else went to war from zones, volunteers or from conscript service of people immediately transferred to contractors. Think about why the enemy constantly increases the level of one -time cash payment for signing the contract? Money for Russia, "Budanov said.
According to him, the flow of volunteers is catastrophically decreasing. That is why the Russian Federation faced a personnel shortolor. "There is a mobilization plan in Russia, and almost 10% of the shortage has been recorded according to it," he said. Recall that Budanov also said that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continues to have the potential for the offensive, but soon this potential would still decrease. Then the moment will come for the Armed Forces to actively act.
