Russia is reportedly considering a significant shift in its military recruitment strategy due to a lack of volunteers. According to La Libre Belgique, a proposal was made to Vladimir Putin during a meeting with party leaders and “war heroes” to include individuals deemed unfit for military service. This suggests a growing need for personnel as the conflict continues. The move signals potential desperation to bolster troop numbers despite concerns about combat readiness. This mobilization would occur "at all levels", indicating a broad expansion of eligibility criteria. Details regarding the specific criteria for these "unfit" recruits remain scarce, but the consideration of this measure highlights the challenges Russia faces in sustaining its military operations. The report originated from Rador Radio.
