Putin dreams that by this time Ukraine would capitulate and agree to Russia's demands. 

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov told about it. 

"Russia cannot gather a million people for mobilization in the shortest possible time. According to my estimates, it will last until spring. They will gather it. They will mobilize the first 300,000 by November or by the end of the year. Although Russia for some reason is targeting November 15. There is information that allegedly, Putin wants to end the war by November 15. But in his understanding, the end of the war is when Ukraine agrees to negotiations and signs a capitulation on the terms of the Russian Federation. That is, Ukraine must accept the loss of territories, recognize them as Russian and not join NATO. This is necessary in order to to give the Russian Federation the opportunity to prepare and carry out a second attack and occupy all of Ukraine," the military expert said. 

Zhdanov emphasized that Ukraine, using old Soviet weapons, was able to turn the tide of the war and "grind" the professional Russian army.

Now they want to scare us with an amateur army. 

"We have become a professional Western-type army. Personnel training and weapons are different. That is why those people whom the Russian Federation will send here will become victims of this war. The more people they send, the more losses they will have," Oleg Zhdanov emphasized. 

We will remind you that Russia decided to act in the war against Ukraine not with skill, but with numbers.

Therefore, within the framework of "partial" mobilization, they plan to recruit 1 million 200 thousand people to the Russian army.
