Russia's Struggle to Recruit 400k 'Volunteers' for Military Expansion

TL;DR Summary
Russia's plan to recruit 400,000 more volunteer soldiers is unlikely to succeed, and authorities may have to coerce people into signing up, according to UK intelligence. The UK MOD said that Russia wants it to appear like people volunteered "in order to minimise domestic dissent." The expected recruitment drive would be the second mass mobilization that Russia has undertaken since it launched its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
