Russia has a significant mobilization resource, which is being used up in the war against Ukraine. However, now they are able to gather enough personnel.

About this Channel 24said people's deputy, secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Colonel of the SBU Roman Kostenko, noting that at the current pace of hostilities they do not have significant problems with mobilization.

How Russia recruits people for war

As Kostenko emphasized, if the scale had been different, the occupiers would have already experienced serious problems. For example, if there was a war with NATO.

If they were at war with all of NATO and they needed armies of millions, they would experience problems with mobilization, just like us. Now they can simply recruit people from different wildernesses for money. They used to impoverish them. And now these people believe that the only way to earn money is to go to war,” Kostenko said.

They can still pay money and recruit people from small settlements without affecting big cities. If such mobilization had taken place in large populated areas, then various protests could have already begun.
