About it reports the analytical center "Institute of War Research" in the summary for February 26. "The rapid counter -offensive of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region in the period from September 6 to September 11 shocked Putin and made it clear that he needed forced mobilization of the reserve. Putin announced partial mobilization some time after Ukraine's counter -offensive on September 21," the report reads.
The Kremlin's head probably came to the conclusion that irregular volunteer formations would not be enough to keep the positions captured by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation or perform successful offensive operations. According to analysts, Putin even consulted with Russian troops on the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on the battlefield. Perhaps it was these bloggers who expressed their fears.
Jan Gentile, the deputy head of the Rand Arroyo Center, said that formally Russian mobilization was successful in the sense that it was possible to gather the required number of soldiers. But at the same time, it did not allow Putin to achieve the goal in Ukraine. The collision line has not changed significantly. "They did not even approach the goals that Putin set his forces in Ukraine a few months ago. And for that, I think it was a failure for them," the expert explained.
