Russia says it has finished calling up hundreds of thousands of reservists to fight in Ukraine with more than one-quarter already deployed to the battlefield.
Here are some of the reactions by some people
- Well-done Putin. This is just a squad for the little Ukraine.. The should notice this; if it's with a more advanced and a bigger country than Ukraine, things would have been different
- Difficult to understand this wanton war cooked up by 1 single old man... the day they catch with him will be a day ... He is inside Ukraine killing people and says henis fighting to "defend the motherland" which was not under attack... Headscratch worthy mystery to say the least...
- There has to be an apt definition for this kind of needless war...
- So surprising that an offensive and better equipped Russian military (Goliath) has been forced into a defensive force by a David the Ukrainian military.
- Russia ain't done yet because they believe in the doctrine of quantity over quality. At the beginning of the invasion when they hard the advantage of surprise, they began with almost 200k men. After eight months they are adding 300k when that element of surprise is no longer there with a battle hardened, well prepared and motivated Ukrainian military.
- After another 6-7months they will mobilize again because Ukraine has a lot of troops to be drawn from as the West keeps training their men
