One notable aspect of the situation on the Russian side is the extensive wartime mobilization. While Russia had a brief call for a significant mobilization in October 2022, much of their recruitment has resulted from volunteers.

With an estimated 20 to 40 million military-age males available, a large-scale mobilization could occur without the public coercion observed in Ukraine.
