Russia has fulfilled its mobilization plan for 2025 — Budanov
This was noted by Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
He said that the main source of replenishment of the Russian army is contract soldiers.
According to General Budanov, the Russian mobilization plan for 2026 is to recruit 409,000 people. When asked whether Russia is facing problems in the process of recruiting people for war, Kirill Budanov replied:
Of course. That's why they periodically increase the level of lump sum payments: it varies depending on the region, but these are significant amounts. This is how they lure people into the army.
