Scott Ritter: Russia Will Mobilize 500,000 Troops

In this 27 July 2026 published video, host Daniel Davis talks with Scott Ritter about the wae in Ukraine. Intelligence estimates indicate the Kremlin plans to call up between 300,000 and 500,000 personnel. The main wave of official mobilization is expected to take place in September and October. The figures were notably pushed forward by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Andrii Kovalenko, head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation. Some recruits are expected to be deployed within weeks to plug front-line eastern gaps, while others will receive extended training for future major offensives.

The discussion centers on whether Russia’s upcoming autumn draft serves as a defensive counter-measure to replace high casualties, or a broader structural preparation to consolidate a decisive military advantage before winter infantry operations begin.
