Russia's Military Recruitment Plans Face Challenges and Labor Shortages.
TL;DR
UK Defence Intelligence believes that Russia's plan to recruit 400,000 "volunteers" to the army is unlikely to succeed, and that regional authorities may resort to coercion to meet their recruitment targets. The supposed "volunteer model" is likely a way to minimize domestic dissent. However, rebuilding Russia's combat power in Ukraine will require more than just personnel, as the country needs more munitions and military equipment supplies than it currently has available.
