Bloomberg: In Russia, hidden mobilization may be expanded after the State Duma elections
Vladimir Putin has likely not yet made a final decision on a new wave of mobilization after the State Duma elections, but the Russian army’s need for people is growing, while the recruitment of volunteers is declining, Bloomberg writes, citing European officials and military analysts. According to their assessment, instead of a new «partial mobilization», the authorities may expand the hidden one through pressure on the regions and the digital database of military conscripts.
