  1. Ukraine has been mobilizing since February 24, and the number of the Ukrainian army is growing every day, while Russia is fighting with a limited contingent of contract volunteers. Regardless of the losses of the Russian and Ukrainian sides, there is such a situation that Ukraine has accumulated a serious numerical advantage, and as a result, the Russian offensive in the Donbas has stopped and for 3 months now there have been battles for Bakhmut, Soledar and Disputed. And the Ukrainian army is successfully advancing in the Kherson region, and recently they very quickly liberated the Kharkiv region. Therefore, Putin, in the seventh month of the war, decided to begin mobilizing reservists in order to at least equalize the number of the two warring armies. Because when the Ukrainian army has a numerical advantage of one and a half or two times over the Russian one, military actions are not in favor of Russia. In general, it would be better if the military operations on February 24 did not even begin
