September 25 Putin delivered a TV speech to Russia and announced that Russia has entered the "partial military mobilization" state. Putin plans to recruit 300,000 troops. This recruitment targets some reserve personnel with certain military skills and professional abilities. The reason for the "partial military mobilization" is that the "second half" of the Donbas battlefield will be very difficult. In response, Putin said that since 2014, a fortification has been established, and NATO is also using various advanced means to achieve actions that endanger Russia in the entire southern Russia.
Since February 24 this year, Russia has invested about 200,000 to 300,000 troops in the "Special Military Operation". However, Ukraine invests more people, estimated to be more than 500,000. If Russia successfully increases its troops, the number of people participating in the war will reach one million. This has the potential to change the military process to some extent. Regarding the mobilization, Putin explained that it was to deal with Ukraine's threat to the "liberated area" of Donbas and the Russian mainland. Russian Defense Minister Shoigu said the recruitment was to ensure better control of the "liberated" territory.
