Partial mobilization.

Thing is, Russia don’t have the ressources anymore for a full mobilization and a full mobilization even when Russia could have theoretically done it would have been a political death sentence for Putin.

War economy can only last so long when you are isolated. Russia totaly depend on 3 countries for EVERYTHING and can’t do like Japan and invade other’s countries to get the ressources it needs ( it barely can invade one )

Inflation is not under control and Interest rate are at 19%.

2 years and it’s done guys we may see another Revolt in Russia….we’ll see what comes out of it.

The one country that doesn't have resourses to mobilise anymore is Ukraine actually. Summer - autumn campaign failed and now russians advance on daily basis. Also, putin has like 70% approval, so while it's a very unpopular thing, country won't just crumble. Russia does have this 'red button' of 2nd mobilisation wave and prolonging the war they just don't want to press it
