What will Russia do in the event of a new wave of mobilization

As noted in the report, on July 11, the Russian independent media organization Meduza reported that the Russian government implements an “information exchange system” between the Ministry of Defense and the FSB to transmit detailed information about potential conscripts to the FSB border service and prevent them from escaping from the country. It is noted that the system should be fully functional by the fall of 2024.

According to British intelligence, Russia annually conducts 2 conscriptions for military service, annually calling up more than 250 thousand people for military service one year of compulsory military service.

It added that hundreds of thousands of Russian residents have left the country since partial mobilization was announced in 2022, and they were disproportionately concentrated among young and highly educated people, which affected the labor market.

The introduction of this system is likely to prevent this from happening again on a smaller scale during the annual conscription cycle and in the event further wave of mobilization, indicated the UK Ministry of Defense.
