According to experts, partial mobilization will allow the Russian Federation to maintain the current level of Ukrainian troops in 2023 and to compensate for the losses, but it is still unknown to what extent. "The partial mobilization of Russia will thus not deprive Ukraine of the opportunity to liberate more of its occupied territory in the winter and throughout the winter," the report reads.
At the same time, analysts emphasized that it is unknown what part of the Russian reserve the Kremlin had already overturned to participate in a full -scale war - in June 2022 Kyiv reported that Russian troops sent 80,000 people from a mobilized reserve for participation in hostilities. Thus, it can be assumed that the Russian Federation has caused the most capable reserves, and the current mobilization will begin with the involvement of less prepared personnel.
Analysts also pointed to the contradictions in the information that the Russian authorities spread regarding the timing of reservists' preparation before sending to the front. Thus, the chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense noted that the training would take more than a month, while the military enlistment office in the Kursk region announced the immediate transfer of reservists under 30 years to the battlefield, according to the publication.
