“Putin is not ready to stop this war; he wants to do it after the State Duma elections on September 21 and plans to mobilize between 300,000 and 500,000 people.” This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“At the same time, a significant percentage of the population is also against the war, but they still support Putin. He will not be able to train these people quickly. This, once again, means that he will send poorly trained people onto the battlefield. And this, in turn, means heavy losses,” he noted.
