 Russia considers mobilizing another 450,000 people. Russia has not suspended mobilization and is considering the possibility of conscripting an additional 450,000 people. Kyrylo Budenov, Chief of Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, has said. Budenov said this in an interview with Krim.RelaiMediaOutlet. Now they are considering the option of conscripting an additional 450,000, although this issue has not yet been fully resolved. He said, Budenov emphasized that mobilization in the Russian Federation has not stopped. Last autumn, they conscripted about 350,000 Russians. But covert mobilization continues all the time, and currently 20,000 to 22,000 people are called up every month. In itself, this leads to the next question. Why such a number if the losses are, as they say, negligible? Well, you will see that the truth is somewhere in the middle, Budenov explained. Political experts, however, point out that Putin's initial mobilization decree is still in full force, and a steady trickle of reports shared on social media suggests some men are still being recruited. Now military experts predict Russia might have to ramp up the tempo again in light of losses sustained in bloody battles. President Vladimir Putin's announcement last September of a partial mobilization of 300,000 reservists to fight in Ukraine sparked widespread panic and the departure of tens of thousands of Russian men abroad.
