Russia’s mobilization has shown growing pressure on the Kremlin as its armed forces show signs of “growing weakness and weakness” in the war in Ukraine, British Defence Chief of Staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin said on Friday .

“There are pressure points. There is a certain fragility in the Russian armed forces,” Radakin said.

But Radakin warned that the conflict is developing slowly, and Ukraine is ready to further gradually take advantage of Russia’s “pain points.”
Radakin said Putin’s remarks, including his renewed nuclear rhetoric, were examples of how “Russia is responding in terms of weakness and despair.”
“And the rhetoric is becoming more and more reckless,” he said.
According to him, Ukraine, which this month conducted a lightning counterattack, recapturing sections of the Kharkiv region, still has more opportunities in the northeast and east of the country. When asked whether Russian mobilization had affected its armed forces in Ukraine, Radakin replied: “Neither militarily nor tactically does it matter.”
“It shows the pressure that Russia is under,” Radakin said, adding that mobilized Russian forces were asked to arrive with bandages and winter equipment.
“I do not think that this mobilization, carried out in such a clumsy, amateurish and outrageous way, instills great fear in the Ukrainian armed forces,” he said.
“And, at least, it adds to Ukraine’s motivation that they succeed.”

His comments came shortly after Putin on Friday delivered a 37-minute anti-Western speech in Moscow before signing documents on the annexation of four regions of Ukraine — an act that Ukraine, the United States and the European Union condemned as illegal.
