The general pointed out that in order to protect new territories and carry out offensive operations, the General Staff had to carry out partial mobilizations. There have been no such events since the Great Patriotic War, Gerasimov emphasized.
The Chief of the General Staff also noted that the mobilization training system in Russia was not fully adapted to modern economic relations. According to him, it had to be corrected on the fly.
Remember that on January 11, Gerasimov was appointed commander of the united group of troops in a special operation. As explained in the Ministry of Defense, the decision is related to the expansion of the scale of tasks solved in the course of the NMD, as well as the need to organize closer interaction between the types and types of troops.
