Russia is shifting its manpower recruitment strategy by focusing on encouraging volunteers to join the front lines rather than officially announcing a partial mobilization, which could cause public discontent and social tension domestically.

According to sources from the Institute for the Study of War, Russia believes this approach will ease social pressure and control domestic dissatisfaction while maintaining troop strength necessary for the Ukrainian front.

Avoiding an official mobilization announcement helps mitigate internal tensions and reduce the likelihood of protests.

However, this strategy relies on persuasion and incentives for volunteers, potentially leading to uneven troop quality and reduced long-term effectiveness.

This adjustment reflects mounting pressure faced by the Russian government from both the ongoing war and domestic population.
