MOD Reports:

280 new units have been formed from the 300,000 mobilized last Autumn.

It is described as the largest such callup in Russia’s history since WW2.

Some thoughts on this, as an often asked question in chat has been, “where are the mobilized men?”

At this point I think the answer is clear: they have been training and working behind the line of contact.
That is, Russia did not simply scoop up 300,000 men and throw them to the front as Ukraine has been doing some 7+ times now, but actually formed an entirely new, professional Army with them

It’s worth noting that the size of the entire U.S. Marine Corps is around 180,000 in total (including admin, clerical, maintenance, etc).

This is yet another sign that Russia is in no hurry and is quite comfortable taking the time to properly re-train and equip these men and form new units proper.

It should also be noted that this new army is cohesive. Same uniform, same training, same language, same communication, same doctrine - and a training regimen born from experience in the SVO.

Meanwhile Ukrainian units are being trained in multiple countries by different instructors with multiple incongruent programs, doctrines, and kit.
Ukraine itself is aware of this problem, which is why they have allocated Leopard tanks to one unit and Bradley IFVs to another and so forth, instead of mixing them up across the board.

The problem for Ukraine nonetheless remains: a lack of consistency in doctrine and kit across units. There is no “universality” in such, and as such, Schroedinger’s Offensive remains in the box because these units cannot effectively coordinate together.

Meanwhile, Russia now has a second modernized and cohesive Army formed in addition to the small portion of it’s existing Army already dedicated to the SVO.

Where and how this new Army will be employed (defense in depth, counter offensive operations??) I can not say.
But that MOD now makes this statement inclines me to believe the mobilized Army is increasingly ready for work.

Hyvin tuntuu purevan nämä psykologiset operaatiot vai kuvitteletko että tosielämässä Prigozhinin sallittaisiin heittää sellaista läppää kun nyt on heittänyt ilmoille

Missäs elämässä ne venäjäfanit sitten elävät elleivät tosielämässä?

Kuka sanoi että Prigožin olisi mikään ainoa mahdollinen riski tuollaiseen vallankaappaukseen? Mitä syvemmälle suohon Venäjä tässä itsensä rämpii, niin eiköhän se halu vallan vaihtamiseen ala kyteä entistä kovemmin muillakin tahoilla.

Russia is spending surprisingly little on its war on Ukraine

The direct fiscal cost of the war — spending on soldiers and machines — is estimated to be about 3% of Russia's GDP, or roughly $67 billion a year, according to the report mentioned in Business Insider.

This is about a quarter of what the West is throwing at Russia.

So who can last longer in this conflict?

Europe will pay 10 times more for sanctions against Russia than for supporting Ukraine. Josep Borrell, head of the EU foreign policy service, stated this.

“The average amount of support European governments have had to pay to help their families and businesses cope with high electricity and food prices is 700 billion - more than ten times than support for Ukraine,” Borrell said at a security conference Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore.

The deputy head of the Presidental Office of Ukraine, Igor Zhovkva, believes that Ukraine does not have enough weapons for a counteroffensive.

"If you want to launch a successful counteroffensive, you need everything at your disposal, including artillery, armored vehicles and tanks, so we probably don't have enough of them," he said.

According to Zhovkva, Zelensky has visited so many countries over the past month because of the need to get more weapons. The deputy head of the President's office noted that the strikes carried out by the Russian Armed Forces deplete the stocks of air defense missiles, including American Patriot systems.
