Russia is facing difficulties in replenishing its military ranks amidst heavy losses in the Ukraine war. While Vladimir Putin has not decided on a new mass mobilization, efforts to increase voluntary recruitment are slowing down. Coercive methods, such as detaining men and pressuring them to sign contracts, are being used. Experts estimate Russia is losing around 30,000 soldiers per month, and recruiting about 1,000 contractors per day, mostly to replace losses.
