Several months before the "inauguration" of President Vladimir Putin in May 2024, representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry insisted on a new stage of mobilization, but the Russian dictator rejected this idea, writes The Wall Street Journal . The head of the Kremlin, according to the publication, said that he wants to use only contract soldiers to replenish troops and compensate for losses at the front, but now he is under intense pressure, since in almost 3 years of war, the Russian Armed Forces have lost about 1 million people killed and wounded.

The mobilization could have serious political consequences for Putin, the media notes. But at the same time, Russia is losing more soldiers on the battlefield than it can recruit to replace them, the article says.

"The forces are currently insufficient to achieve the original goals of the war: to remove Ukraine from the conflict, to undermine its military potential or to protect the border areas of Russian territory. More and more people say that mobilization is inevitable," the media source said.

Journalists report that during the first wave of mobilization in the Russian Federation, during which the occupiers planned to add 300,000 people to the army, the Russian authorities faced protests and the need to close the border in some regions. According to their data, although Russia has an advantage in population compared to Ukraine, the shortage of personnel remains a serious problem for them.

"Russia did not commit to sending key frontline forces to Kursk, but given its limitations it was forced to redeploy troops from Kherson and Zaporozhye, where they were less needed," said Rob Lee, a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, an American think tank.

By some estimates, Russia is recruiting around 1,000 people a day, while according to the UK, the occupiers are losing around 1,100 soldiers a day at the front. As the article says, Russian leaders are not announcing a new wave of mobilization because of concerns that this process will upset the "fragile balance" of how society perceives the war - this could have dangerous political consequences for Putin.

The independent sociological service Levada Center in Russia published the results of a survey in which 46% of the population of the aggressor country admitted to fearing mobilization. This is 12% more than in February 2024.

The demographic advantage only exists if the casualties are similar. This is not the case.

Why not a minor escalation in Ukraine Russia, its soo cautious, you can really see the anxious hand of Putin in all this. Im not promoting a nuclear strike on Kiev or something but just a sign of like"we still be here" you need to take into account or present present here seriously. I think Russia is too cautious at the moment.
