Reality check! The mobilization was of reservists i.e. those with previous military experience. Russia has stated that a 2nd mobilisation is not needed. Russia is encouraging 'contract' recruitment in preference to conscription, because conscripts cannot serve outside the Russian Federation. The Russian Army has 300,000 troops in western Russia that have yet to be deployed to Ukraine. Earlier this year, General Zaluzhny went on the record that the UA needed 20,000 new troops per month just to maintain numbers. This number coincided with Western analysts, even some at the Pentagon, who quoted that Ukraine was losing 600-800 troops per day at that time (they are now losing 1,500+ per day). Both of these numbers match those in the Daily Briefings of military commanders at the Kremlin, noted by Western analysts for their accuracy, in contrast to the B/S from Kiev!!

@dominuslogik484 Equally, just because they were mobilised, doesn't mean they were accepted back into the Army. Relevant training and experience were factors, as were age and health. Only 50% of them were accepted.
