Russia is implementing limited military conscription to address losses in its war against Ukraine, as indicated by the ISW. The Kremlin is preparing society for these measures, including a bill to prosecute critics of conscription. Putin aims to normalize rolling call-ups while balancing economic labor needs. The government is tightening control over information, particularly regarding Telegram, to suppress dissent. Despite claims of a strong military-industrial complex, statistics suggest a labor shortage, with significant casualties reported since the war began.
