mobilization until the last.  

Political scientist Dmytro Vasiliev told  

TSN.ua

about this .

"The decree, which was analyzed by the lawyers of the Russian Federation, does not contain the word 'partial' mobilization, that is, in fact, this means that they will not be limited in terms of the number of those mobilized, nor in terms of categories of conscripts," the expert noted. 

Vasiliev emphasized that even now there is information in the public domain that in fact those who did not serve, that is, men who do not fall under the category announced publicly by officials of the Russian Federation, are beginning to be added to the army. 

"That is, this is a huge defeat of the highest military and political leadership of the Russian Federation. This is a huge defeat of the ministries of the Armed Forces of Russia and the General Staff, which did not cope with any of the tasks they set from February 24. Due to the successes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in fact, Russia has no other choice , how to proceed to such an escalation. And the Russians understand very well that the Armed Forces will attack and defend the territories of Ukraine," he summarized.
