According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, the size of the Russian army stopped growing for the first time in 2025. In fact, this means that dictator Vladimir Putin will have to declare a general mobilization if he does not want to lose the war in 2026.
Points of attention
- Zelensky underlines the significance of financial compensation as the key for rebuilding Ukraine with the participation of the Russian Federation, amidst ongoing tensions and military presence.
- The delicate balance of power and the potential outcomes of the conflict are analyzed, shedding light on the complexities of the geopolitical landscape in the region.
The Russian army has problems with the number of manpower
In a new interview with Fox News, Zelensky officially confirmed that the number of losses in the enemy army has equaled the number of mobilized troops.
According to the Ukrainian leader, the war may end in 2026, otherwise Putin will have to carry out a general mobilization.
The main problem for the Kremlin is that the dictator is afraid of the Russian reaction to this decision.
Against this background, Zelensky warned that the worst path for Ukraine is to withdraw from the Donetsk region.
According to the president, these are very serious risks for the entire country.
We can't just give up our territories. There are people living there — about 300,000 people. We can't lose these people. We can't leave because hundreds of thousands have been injured there and tens of thousands have died. Besides, our army is there.
