Western analysts doubt the effectiveness of the current actions of the Kremlin – this is a step of desperation by the Russian leadership.
Russia will not be able to stop the counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or influence the conflict in the near future by drawing reservists into the conflict. The announced partial mobilization of the Russian Federation shows the difficult position of the aggressor country on the battlefield. This was said by Western analysts, according to The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, September 21.
Air Marshal of the British Air Force Edward Stringer believes that on the part of the Russian leadership “this is the last throw of a stun grenade” and “evidence of weakness.”
The Russian armed forces are currently unable to receive, train and deploy hundreds of thousands of recruits. Soldiers who are mobilized, although helping the Russian Federation strengthen its defenses, are unlikely to be motivated fighters.
The illegal “attachment” of the occupied territories of Ukraine to the Russian Federation will not in any way influence the selection of targets for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In particular, Ukrainian fighters attacked the bases of the Russian invaders in the annexed Crimea. In addition, fire was also set on Russian Federation military facilities in Russia’s border regions.
Putin’s latest nuclear threat does not indicate any change in Russia’s nuclear policy. This is aimed at trying to reduce Western support for Ukraine, the publication said. American analysts believe it would be a mistake to allow Russia to use such deterrence tactics. In the future, this will affect the security of Europe and create a precedent.
Eugene Finkel, a professor at the Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, believes that the Kremlin has “lost hope” due to military defeats.
Recall that Ukrainian intelligence believes that the Russian Federation will be able to continue the war in Ukraine until the summer of 2023.
Intelligence also believes that the invaders are preparing for defensive battles during the war in Ukraine.
