So I have been reading as nauseum here how the war is over for Ukraine, Z is going to flee, Uke army is surronded, cut off, “its over” Uke army is destroyed, its all a done deal...Ukraine as a country is going to disappear in a month...
so why does Putin need this mobilization?
As the speech said, the front is 1000 kilometers long.
Russia cannot defend the current lines with the number of troops and equipment it has now; the more so as the West is denuding its own stores to supply the Ukraine with weaponry.
