Zelensky cancels large mobilization

[Bleipriester]

Ukrainian President Zelensky cancelled the mobilization of 500.000 people. His office explains that of the one million that have been mobilized, only 200-300 thousands actually experienced combat and that the others are now at the disposal of Syrskyi. And such a mass mobilization would be costly, Zelensky explained, 7-8 taxpayers are required to fund one soldier. At the same tine, he did not reveal the number of new conscripts.

Зеленський сказав, що наразі немає необхідності мобілізувати 500 тисяч українців

Президент Зеленський на спільній пресконференції з президентом Фінляндії прокоментував процес мобілізації. Глава держави заявив, що до армії не призиватимуть пів мільйона осіб.

Apart from the good point in post 4, I speculate that NATO has promised him some further support and specifically from France and Romania -- though he may regret the latter if true .

Ukraine is at great risk of its front lines collapsing

According to high-ranking Ukrainian officers, the military picture is grim and Russian generals could find success wherever they decide to focus their upcoming offensive.
