Quote from Skibitskyi: "They are preparing for the second wave of mobilisation, but we believe that they will postpone it because they have not overcome all the difficulties they experienced during the first wave.

They were not ready for such a large-scale mobilisation then, and they are not ready now."

Details: Skibitskyi clarified that if Russia goes ahead with a new round of mobilisation, it will suffer the same problems that the previous wave revealed, including "the lack of modern equipment in good working order and a sufficient number of combat-ready officers, the training of a huge influx of untrained people."
