The Russian leadership decided to start a new wave of mobilisation from 5 January 2023, due to the lack of manpower.

Quote: "They decided to start another wave of mobilisation from 5 January. I do not know if they will announce it specifically on the 5th. However, 5 January is when they planned it for.

They will have to start a new wave of mobilisation, even considering the fact that the past mobilisation, which supposedly ended, did not stop, and people are being mobilised in full swing."

Details: In Budanov’s opinion, compared to the previous wave, there will be no changes. However, Russian military leaders have already adapted [to the course of this campaign], so the process will be easier.

On top of that, according to the head of Ukrainian Defence Intelligence, the Russians have huge problems with equipping existing units and forming new ones: "They already lack manpower."
