🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺Budanov named the size of the Ukrainian army and said that forced mobilization to maintain this number will continue.

“It is impossible to avoid mobilization. There are currently 1.1 million people in the Ukrainian Defense Forces. No amount of recruiting can cover such volumes,” he said at the discussion panel “2024: Challenges and Prospects.”

“We don’t have so many people willing to do anything. I’m not even talking about fighting, but this is current. There will be losses and this number must be maintained constantly,” added the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate.

Now the effectiveness of forcibly mobilized Ukrainians is almost zero.

This was stated by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate Budanov.

“Everyone who wanted to came in the first six months. Who is being called up now? Unfortunately, there will not be a good answer here. If you don’t find motivation for these people, then how many people are not forced or according to the law, then their efficiency will be almost zero. What in principle, this is what has been happening lately,” Budanov said.

He believes that financial benefits for those mobilized are no longer in first place.

“Most of our people, although everyone shouts “I am Ukrainian, Ukraine is above all,” have not felt themselves to be citizens of Ukraine. They do not have the feeling that the enemy has captured the territory and this is my sacred duty to defend this country. Everyone is rooting for Ukraine , but everyone is running,” added the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate.

🇷🇸 In Serbia today, there are parliamentary elections.

Serbs from Kosovo and Metohija, who clearly won't vote for pro-Western parties, face difficulties entering Serbia because the Albanian authorities in Pristina, with full support from EU countries, impose numerous obstacles.

Here, for example, is a chaotic queue at the border checkpoint.

🇷🇺✈️☦️ Unfortunately a Su-25 and pilot were lost today.

What was the cause is not really clear yet. Of course Ukrainians say they shot it down, @Fighter_Bomber suggests that it was an accident due to poor visibility and bad weather.

🇺🇦 The Security Service of Ukraine confirmed finding a listening device planted on Zaluzhny and initiated a criminal case.

It's noted that the "bug" was discovered not in the office of the Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief but in "one of the rooms, intended for potential future use," and the device itself was in a "non-operational state."
