According to British military intelligence, Russia is drafting tens of thousands of men every month to fight in the war against Ukraine. Kremlin has so far avoided an official further wave of mobilization.

As a result, Russia continues to have a quantitative advantage over the Ukrainians in terms of ammunition and equipment. Ukrainian intelligence sources also speak of up to 30,000 new Russian recruits per month.. Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky had just corrected the number of new men to be mobilized originally stated by the Ukrainian military leadership downwards, although without specifying how far down.
