In recent months, the Russian army has faced a staff shortage for the first time - Budanov

The head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, said that problems with mobilization in Russia began 3 months ago. Despite significant monetary incentives, the flow of volunteers is decreasing dramatically, with a shortfall of almost 10%.
The head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, said that Russia's problems with mobilization resources began about three months ago, despite the significant monetary incentives offered to Russians, UNN reports, citing Forbes.
The situation with mobilization in Russia is not so simple. Problems with human resources in Russia began about three months ago. This moment is not known to everyone. Before that, there were no problems with mobilization in Russia
He noted that at the beginning of the war, the enemy announced a partial mobilization and tried to encourage people with significant amounts of money, but this was not enough to replenish the army. Many other people went to fight as volunteers or were transferred from conscript service to contract service.
"Think about why the enemy is constantly raising the level of a one-time cash payment for signing a contract. Depending on the region, the amounts have already reached 2 million Russian rubles. This is a huge amount of money for Russia. The answer is obvious: the flow of volunteers is decreasing dramatically. And in recent months, the Russian army has faced a staff shortage for the first time. Russia has a mobilization plan, and according to it, almost 10% of the shortage was recorded," says the head of the DIU.
According to him, the Russian Defense Ministry is now trying to remedy the situation. The enemy understands that if the protracted war continues, Russia will face a dilemma no later than the summer of 2025: either to stop it all or to announce a new large-scale mobilization. The enemy will pull to the last, because, according to the Russian leadership, a large-scale mobilization could seriously shake the political situation.
Recall
Earlier UNN reported that Russians conducted a massive raid on Crimeans with the aim of forcibly mobilizing them into the Russian armed forces during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which contradicts all moral and ethical standards.
