On Wednesday, Andrey Gurulyov, a retired Russian colonel general and Duma deputy, said there are “no reasons or conditions” for there to be a second mobilisation in the next six months.
In reference to the tens of thousands going through military trainiand, Gurulyov told Russia media, “Not everyone who was mobilised earlier has been sent to the battle.”
Igor Strelkov, a Russian ultra-nationalist, who is a former intelligence officer, now blogger, said, “There will be a second wave of mobilisation.
“We will be forced to carry out the second, and maybe the third wave. To win in Ukraine, we will need to call up at least another half a million soldiers.” S
