Zelenskyy on strengthening mobilization: we cannot fight Russia in numbers, we must do everything to save people's lives

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the advantage in the war against Russia should be achieved not by the number of personnel, but by technology and weapons. The President emphasized that everything should be done to save the lives of the personnel. Zelensky said this in an interview with the French media, commenting on the law on strengthening mobilization, UNN reports.

As for this law (mobilization law - ed.) that you mentioned, yes, it was introduced, and according to it, mobilization is different. The age was lowered, and there were some other changes, some norms, etc. And the military command, as I have already answered this question, tells me that mobilization has increased. What is happening, and there are not enough guys on the battlefield, we must understand that they are in training centers. They cannot be immediately thrown onto the battlefield after mobilization. Again, I emphasize that we are not Russians. We know that they have people who have been in the training center for seven days and were sent to the battlefield, but they cannot do anything about it because they are beaten. But with us, the guys have to go through at least two months of training and the training is appropriate. Some of them, depending on the direction, train longer. I think that we will be replenishing those brigades that lack personnel in the near future

He added that Russia is increasing the number of its soldiers on the battlefield, so everything needs to be reasoned, so that the military command is mindful of the balance of power, what is needed in terms of technology and weapons, not just numbers.

You have to think with your brain, otherwise you cannot. Being outnumbered against Russia is a challenge, so you need to be smart and do everything you can to save lives. And to destroy the enemy

According to him, over the past three to four weeks, Russia has been losing an average of a thousand people a day in killed and wounded.

Do you understand what they have come to? Imagine losing a thousand people a day, wounded and killed. A thousand. They are crazy people. Absolutely. They are inadequate people. Putin is crazy. Is it possible to kill a thousand people a day? Putin, if he is ready to lose a thousand people a day, he will lose 300 thousand people in another year of war. He already has more than 500 thousand killed and wounded. More than 500 thousand. This is what is happening

Recall

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed that Russian troops have made gains due to restrictions on the use of Western weapons. Zelensky emphasized the need to obtain permission to strike targets deep inside Russia.
