According to British experts, the Russian military is overwhelmed with the training of new recruits due to the war of aggression in Ukraine. That emerges from the daily intelligence update of the Ministry of Defense in London on Saturday.
Accordingly, Moscow was already having difficulties organizing training for the approximately 300,000 reservists drafted during the partial mobilization. According to the British, the problem is likely to worsen for the approximately 120,000 conscripts regularly drafted in the fall.
“Newly hired recruits are likely to receive minimal training or no training at all,” the British experts said. Experienced officers and trainers were sent to the Ukraine for war operations and some of them were probably killed. However, the use of untrained forces contributes little or not at all to combat effectiveness.
The British Ministry of Defense has published daily information on the course of the war since the start of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. The government wants to counter the Russian portrayal and keep allies in line. Moscow accuses London of a disinformation campaign.
