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.

This was not what I meant-A soldier who left the military 5 years ago need 1-1½ month training to reach same strength and knowledge he had when he left.
A soldier who left 20 years ago-Need at least 6 month of training.
