With the high intensity consumption of the Ukrainian army on the battlefield of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine, which has hundreds of thousands of troops, seems to have a huge gap in its military strength, and it has to be mobilized again and again. According to the latest report from Global Times , Ukraine is conducting the ninth round of large-scale recruitment, while Maximov, director of the Kiev Center for Conscription and Social Support, revealed in a recent interview that Kiev is already preparing for a new round of large-scale mobilization, which will mainly include male citizens aged 16 to 60, and may also include some adult women.
It is reported that this round of recruitment mobilization will be part of Ukraine's overall defense plan, and it is also for the Ukrainian army to attack before the arrival of winter to prepare personnel. It is generally believed that Russia and Ukraine will start a large-scale conflict in winter, and Zelensky is preparing for recruitment in the future, obviously preparing for a "big bet" to compete with the Russian army.
It is reported that at the request of the Zelensky government, local state governments and municipal administrative units are preparing for mobilization, and this mobilization will start from November until spring 2023. Maximov claimed that all those who must serve in the military as required will be at risk of receiving a recruitment notice. Earlier, Ukrainian Ministry of Defense had issued a notice stating that considering the wartime state that the country will continue, the Ukrainian government has the right to issue conscription requests at any time and anywhere.
Without violating Ukrainian Constitution , the Zelensky government has the right to request the extension of the state of war in the country and has the right to require citizens who can fight to go to the battlefield. Some analysts pointed out that at present, both sides of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict are waiting for Ukraine to enter winter, and the muddy terrain gradually freezes, so that both sides' mechanized troops can carry out large-scale mobile combat, and Ukraine must defend against "sneak attacks" from the Russian-Belarus coalition forces in the north at any time.
It is reported that the newly recruited soldiers will be mainly used to defend against unfighted territories in the west. The eight western states including Lviv and Vinnica will become the focus of the defense of the Ukrainian army, especially the northwest Ukraine region bordering Belarus , which is likely to be suddenly attacked by 200,000 troops from Russia and Belarus.
It is reported that Russia has recently rebuilt a new northern attack cluster in Belarus, and a large number of troops and combat equipment have been continuously transported to central Belarus. Ukraine and NATO are closely monitoring the Russian military movements in Belarus. On the other hand, the Ukrainian army is planning to launch a large-scale attack on Khlsong Prefecture and Khlsong City, with the goal of capturing Khlsong City and driving the Russian army out of the west of Dnieper River.
In order to replace a large number of troops to the front line, the Ukrainian army's conscription work will surely continue until next spring, and the number of conscription personnel is estimated to reach 300,000. Some people believe that by April 2023, the total strength of Ukrainian troops and armed personnel will reach 1.3 million, while the Russian coalition will reach 1.2 million during this period. The total force of the two sides invested in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict battlefield will exceed 2 million, which will be the largest military operation in Europe since World War II .
Analysts pointed out that Russian sources claimed that in the past 300 days of Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine's total loss of troops reached 500,000, of which about 200,000 were killed in battle (the Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to annihilate 100,000 Ukraine troops). Although this news has not been confirmed, it is enough to prove the tragic cruelty of the current Russian-Ukraine conflict.
