"Russia will likely struggle with the logistical and administrative challenges of mustering 300,000 troops.

It will probably try to create new formations with many of these soldiers who are unlikely to be combat-ready for months,'' the Ministry of Defense in London said in its intelligence briefing on the progress of the war today.

According to US estimates, the number of Russian soldiers killed in Ukraine is between 60,000 and 80,000

According to the British military, partial mobilization is a sign of weakness.

The move is effectively an admission that Russia has exhausted its supply of volunteers willing to fight in Ukraine.

Even this limited mobilization is likely to be highly unpopular among parts of the Russian population.

Putin is taking a significant political risk in hopes of generating much-needed military power, the brief said

The British Ministry of Defense has published daily intelligence reports on the progress of the war since it began in February.

For London, this is a way to counter the version of events propagated by Moscow.

Russia accuses Great Britain of a targeted disinformation campaign, BTA recalls.
