      My understanding is it’s “normal” conscription, but 10k more than last year.

      I believe Russian officers have been “pressuring” conscipts to sign full military enlistments before their conscription year is up and that’s part of how they have been keeping up with their losses, without sending “conscripts” to war.

      Kind of like when a shitty joker begs the king for food because he’s hungry but the other way around.
