Scott Ritter is a moron who tends to be wrong about absolutely everything (remember him talking about how all the Hamas warriors were going to use the tunnels under Gaza to take out all the IDF troops?)

But this is so fucking obvious no one, even Ritter, could possibly get it wrong. Russia has also been using all their outdated equipment and conscripting inexperienced troops. They're still prepared for whatever else might come.

@djsumdog @Nazareno One small point. is not conscripting anyone for fighting. The Russian standard of one year military draft for males over 18 is the same in Switzerland and many other countries. (Exemptions for Uni students are the same too). Soldiers fighting in Ukraine are either volunteers or on short-term contracts. This makes sense - draftees can perform a lot of the non-combat duties required for any army, leaving better trained and motivated soldiers to do the actual fighting.
