Putin a pregătit terenul pentru o mobilizare forțată în septembrie. 80% din rușii tineri se opun • Newsweek România
The Kremlin is preparing for a forced mobilization in September, following the Duma elections, despite rising opposition among Russian citizens, particularly the youth. Surveys indicate that 80% of young Russians oppose conscription, and there is a growing demand for assistance to leave the country. The negative sentiment towards mobilization has increased since the first wave in 2022, with a significant portion of the population now against any further recruitment. The government is enhancing its monitoring capabilities to enforce mobilization, but the lack of a clear victory narrative and the ongoing war's toll on soldiers complicate the situation. Employers and universities are expected to play a crucial role in recruitment efforts, while the Kremlin remains uncertain about public reaction to mandatory conscription.
