Military expert Oleg Zhdanov believes that in some regions of the Russian Federation, the process of mobilization has been stopped due to organizational problems.

He spoke about this on the air of the Freedom TV channel.

"The system does not have time to process these people - to receive and distribute them. There is not enough barracks and housing stock in the training centers. It is cold outside. The military units are not ready to receive them, as everyone expected that they would be collected at assembly points and sent to "training schools ". So they partially slowed down," Zhdanov says.

He cites distribution difficulties as another reason for the suspension of mobilization in the Russian Federation.

"20,000 should be sent to Belarus, about 30,000 have already been sent to us.

They will now "push" them in this way.

That's when they "push" these, then the next wave of mobilization will come," the expert said.

According to him, Putin's statement about the end of mobilization in two weeks is intended to calm the Russian population. 

"I think it's more for internal consumption. And the mobilization itself - they will try to recruit as many personnel as possible," the expert said.

At the same time, Zhdanov assumed that the figure of 222,000 mobilized people announced by the Kremlin master is close to reality.

"Our intelligence shows that they have collected a little more than 100 thousand. Maybe another 50-60 thousand are somewhere on the way between military commissariats and collection points," the expert noted.

It will be recalled that Russian mobilized military personnel are poorly equipped and are forced to independently purchase equipment that should have been issued to them during individual equipping.

This is due to widespread corruption in the army and poor logistics.
