Russia readies for possible new military mobilization
Russian authorities and businesses are preparing for a potential new wave of mobilization despite official denials. About 2,500 job advertisements for military personnel record‑keeping have appeared on Russian recruitment portals, and firms that ignore mobilization orders risk fines of up to 500,000 rubles.
The state continues to offer large signing bonuses, with some regions paying several million rubles to new conscripts. Roughly 200,000 men signed military contracts in the first half of the year, but recruitment is slowing as battlefield casualties rise and contract‑termination problems increase. Analysts warn that any further mobilization could draw on reservists with little training, unlike the 2022 partial mobilization that relied on experienced troops. The Kremlin publicly rejects the notion of a new mobilization, while the Russian military reports casualties of about 350,000 dead and total losses between 1.4 and 1.7 million personnel.
