At the Finnish-Russian border, a traffic jam of over 35 km length should have build up. Russians flee Russia.

Russia will not be able to win nuclear war, - Stoltenberg
Russia will not be able to win a nuclear war - and NATO clearly communicates this to Moscow. This was stated by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Censor.NET informs with reference to LIGA. Putin's nuclear rhetoric is dangerous and irresponsible, but not new, Stoltenberg noted. NATO has not yet seen any changes in the configuration and readiness of the Russian nuclear forces. "He (Putin, editor) knows that a nuclear war should never start, cannot be won and will lead to unprecedented consequences for Russia," Stoltenberg said. The Secretary General did not give a direct answer as to what NATO would do in the event of Putin's use of nuclear weapons. The Alliance is doing everything to ensure that there is no misunderstanding in Moscow about the consequences. "How we will react depends on what the situation will be and what weapons they will use. The most important thing is to prevent this from happening. Therefore, we are very clear in our communication with Russia about the consequences, about the fact that the Russian Federation cannot win a nuclear war - said the Secretary General, adding that NATO is also strengthening its eastern flank.

Putin’s speech shows that war against Ukraine is not going according to plan - Stoltenberg
The speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the partial mobilization in Russia demonstrate that his war against Ukraine is not going according to plan. This was announced by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, Censor.NET informs with reference to "European Truth". Stoltenberg noted that Putin's speech about partial mobilization is "an escalation, but not a surprise." "We will remain calm and continue to support Ukraine. President Putin's speech shows that the war is not going according to President Putin's plans. He miscalculated badly," Stoltenberg said. According to him, Putin thought that he would be able to establish control over Ukraine within a few days. "He was forced to withdraw from the north of Ukraine. Then he launched a major offensive in Donbas, this offensive was stopped by Ukrainian forces and now the Ukrainians were able to liberate the territory. The speech and partial mobilization in Russia simply demonstrate that he miscalculated and made major strategic mistakes," - believes NATO Secretary General. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3368695

What Putin may be aiming at is to form an occupying force to annex "annexed" areas such as Luhansk and Donetsk as definitively as possible. The more you mobilize, the more you have to rely on inexperienced military and the weaker your whole organization becomes, actually mobilization is therefore always a weakness. |

Putin’s statement is statement of weakness, - Truss and von der Leyen
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the Prime Minister of Great Britain, Liz Truss, issued a joint statement in which they called the recent statement of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, "a statement of weakness" and assured of supporting Ukraine in its struggle as much as necessary. The text of the statement made following the meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York, distributed by the press service of the European Commission, Censor.NET reports with reference to Interfax-Ukraine. "They strongly condemned Russia's actions in Ukraine and agreed that Putin's recent calls for the mobilization of some of the population were a sign that the Russian invasion was failing. This is a statement of weakness. They recognized the courage and bravery of the Ukrainian people and emphasized their shared commitment to support Ukraine in its struggle as much as it needs," the message reads. In addition, von der Leyen and Truss discussed EU-UK relations, including energy, food security and the Northern Ireland Protocol. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3368714

That is correct. The longer one is away from something the longer it takes to get back up to speed but I think his point is that those times are dependent upon having qualified trainers to whip them back into shape. If those professionals are largely fertilizing Ukrainian Sunflower fields it will likely take much longer to train up returning reservists.

Israel reportedly permitting anti-UAV system transfer to Ukraine
Just about the time Iranian drones supplied to Russia began appearing in the skies over Ukraine last week, press reports surfaced purporting a company in Israel is moving to step around the nation’s formal refusal to take sides in the conflict by ushering anti-UAV defense systems to Kyiv using Poland as an intermediary.
First published by the Hebrew language site Zman Yisrael and picked up by its sister publication The Times of Israel, the report alleges that an unnamed defense company plans to deliver the anti-UAV system to an entity in Poland, knowing Ukraine is the intended recipient. https://dronedj.com/2022/09/19/israe...er-to-ukraine/ |

Probably but remember that Generals of any age don't actually train their troops, they just set policy and direction. The actual training and handing of recruits or returning reservists would be (in the west anyways) a sergeants job, and it's those very professional soldiers who are the ones currently fertilizing the sunflowers. (remember that Babushka berating the Russian soldier last spring to fill his pockets with seeds before they killed him? )
