The Kremlin's decision to mobilize is a frank admission that their personnel army did not last and collapsed in Ukraine.

This was stated by President Volodymyr Zelenskyi during his traditional video address on the evening of September 22.

Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine:

  • survived a full-scale attack by Russia;

  • was able to unite the world around the struggle for freedom;

  • was able to liberate a large part of the occupied territory;

  • still frees people from Russian captivity.

"And Ukraine was able to change the course of the war in such a way that every occupier, even the most inadequate one, felt that we can win and are moving towards victory. I thank each and every one who fights and works for this! For the sake of our victory," Zelenskyi said.

The president is convinced that the Russian leadership is reacting to the fact of Ukrainian strength, which is changing tactics and trying to involve even more Russians and resources in the war.

Zelenskyi called Putin's decision to mobilize "a frank admission that their personnel army, which was prepared for decades to take over someone else, could not stand it and crumbled."

"And now, due to mobilization, Russia's war against Ukraine for the majority of Russian citizens is not something on TV or on the Internet, but something that has entered every Russian home," he concluded.
