For a new offensive: the Russian Federation will announce a new wave of mobilization by the end of 2024 - FT

The material says that since then the Kremlin has been trying to persuade men to sign contracts. According to the UK Ministry of Defense, the Russian Federation was able to recruit about 30,000-40,000 soldiers on a monthly basis. The publication writes that, despite the heavy losses, the Russian army is now 15% more than at the time of the start of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Financial incentives that raised the wages of the Russian military to the unprecedented level played the biggest role in the belief of men to go to the war in Ukraine. Oleksandr Litvinenko, Chairman of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, told reporters that last year Russia had recruited more than 385,000 soldiers.

According to Yuriy Fedorenko, Achilles Unmanned Achilles Battalion Commander, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continues to storm Ukrainian positions with all its personnel available to it. "The enemy has huge economic, military and human resources," he said. According to him, Ukraine pays a very high price to keep defense. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation took lessons from mistakes, and therefore returned to the military approach of the Soviet model.

The material states that in order to preserve the advantage in the battlefield, Russia may soon have to go beyond the established strategy of recruitment. Without this step, a new big offensive is also impossible. "By the end of this year or early next year, a new wave of partial mobilization will be inevitable," the source told reporters. According to him, the Russian authorities are still ready to sacrifice some operational success at the front so that the Russians face less to the war.
