Putin is getting more and more desperate. As he is running out of options, he is just increasing the meat waves!

    Exactly! What this means is essentially that once the russians start cracking, it’s likely to be catastrophic. If recruitment stopped tomorrow, they would last a couple months at best. The only thing keeping the russian army going at this point seems to be 30 000 fresh “soldiers” being sent to die each month.

    It can only be a matter of time before the general public starts realising that very few of those that sign up actually come back at all.

      Don’t put high hopes on the general public there. Soviet union was very good at brainwashing and propaganda. With the new tools and several decades to develop and use them, putler’s team brought that to a completely different level.

      I hear a lot of stories of Ukrainians giving up on talking to their relatives in ruzzia, because all they hear back from them is denial and propaganda.
