The head of the Conflict Intelligence Team presented his vision of the development of events on the fronts of Ukraine in the current year. He explained that the main reason for the lack of major changes at the front is the huge shortage of equipment in Russia, as well as the lack of production to meet the needs of the front.
Leviev also emphasized that a second wave of mobilization is not currently taking place in Russia, and this is unlikely to happen before November. He noted that the current flow of volunteers mainly compensates for losses, and does not allow for an increase in forces.
