Military observer, retired colonel Viktor Baranets named the condition for announcing a new mobilization in Russia. According to him, this could happen if NATO countries decide to send regular troops into the territory of Ukraine.

This could be equated to a declaration of war on Russia, the expert noted in an interview with NEWS.RU.

He considers such a development of events to be unlikely for now, but possible, especially if Ukraine is defeated in the conflict with the Russian Federation.

Then, perhaps, the authorities will be forced to rebuild the essence of the Northern Military District and a new mobilization will be announced. If NATO countries invade territories that are already Russian, this may force us to use nuclear weapons, Baranets concluded.

Earlier, the ex-ambassador of Ukraine to Germany called on Chancellor Olaf Scholz to begin negotiations with Vladimir Putin to stop conflict.
