Ukraine’s failure | Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon’s press secretary, stated during a press conference today that Russian President Vladimir V. Putin’s call for the activation of 300,000 reservists may only be serving to reinforce failure.
300,000 Russian reservists have been mobilised by Putin for his unlawful and unjustified attack on Ukraine. He also subtly shook his nuclear trembling.

After a Ukrainian counteroffensive that drove Russian soldiers from Kharkiv and freed more than 3,000 square kilometres of Ukrainian land, he took this move. According to Colin Kahl, the DOD’s policy chief, the Russian military has lost between 50,000 and 70,000 personnel in its conflict with Ukraine.

Ryder predicted that the majority of Putin’s mobilisation would consist of reserve personnel or former Russian military personnel.

These are not the same as reserve formations in the US. The U.S. military’s reserve units are prepared to deploy in a matter of hours, days, or weeks, depending on the situation.

According to the Russian model, they are those who have completed their military obligation and are being asked to return. We believe that Russia would need some time to prepare, train, and outfit these soldiers, Ryder added.
Since the invasion started on February 24, Russian acts in the conflict on Ukraine point to significant command and control issues as well as a breakdown in logistics

. These issues remain unresolved and played a part in both the Russian military’s inability to make significant gains in the Donbas area in April and their failure to capture the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in March.

According to Ryder, the mobilisation “may alleviate a personnel concern for Russia.” “It’s unclear if it could meaningfully solve the command and control, logistics, sustainment, and most crucially, the morale challenges that we’ve seen Russian soldiers in Ukraine endure,” the author writes. If Russia’s roughly 100,000 troops in Ukraine cannot be maintained, controlled, and equipped, adding 300,000 additional troops to the mix would not improve the problem.

There is nothing to suggest that adding additional variables to the equation would make things easier if you are already facing substantial difficulties and haven’t addressed some of the fundamental strategic concerns that make any large military force viable, Ryder said.

In order to comprehend the requirements of the nation, the United States and its allies will maintain an intense and open discussion with their counterparts in Ukraine.

In the distant past, Russia invaded Ukraine and made an attempt to seize the whole country.

He said, “They scaled down the breadth of their operational aims because they failed to achieve that strategic objective. Even they aren’t going well because of Ukraine’s counteroffensive and the logistical and sustainment problems I’ve mentioned.

“It doesn’t affect the actual reality on the ground, which are that the Ukrainians will continue to fight for their nation,” Ryder said of Putin’s declaration of mobilisation, the scheduling of phoney referenda in seized Donbas areas, or threats to strike territory. “The world community will support Ukraine as they battle to defend their country from an invasion,” said a statement from the Russian military.

“The Russian military is coping with some substantial obstacles on the ground.”Russia has been on the defence throughout the summer as a result of significant losses. Sergei Shoigu, the minister of defence for Russia, acknowledged that 6,000 of his countrymen had perished during the seven-month war. Last month, 20,000 Russian deaths were assessed by US military authorities, whereas 54,000 deaths were claimed by Ukraine.

Early in July, Russia started a campaign to enlist volunteers, but it had little success. The Third Army Corps, which Russia claimed would be constituted by the middle of August, is still not completely organised or operating as a single combat force, according to Ukraine’s failure., who spoke to the Kyiv Post.”

The declaration of full mobilisation will be a big blow to the Putin administration because it will represent an acknowledgment that Russia hasn’t been able to complete all the duties assigned, that Putin’s so-called “special operation” hasn’t produced results, and that a genuine war is underway,” he added.

Putin’s partial mobilisation comes a fortnight after a quick counteroffensive by Ukraine in the Kharkiv area of northeastern Ukraine resulted in the reclaiming of 8,000 square kilometres of land.
