The Economist article reveals that Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to escalate the war with Ukraine by mobilizing between 300,000 and 400,000 additional soldiers for ground combat, despite denying this and dismissing the reports as "utter nonsense." Sources indicate that the Kremlin is seeking to use domestic pressure tactics to recruit forces, experimenting with a new conscription system in an effort to break the deadlock that is harming Russia's economic and political interests. Russian elites are also expressing a pessimistic outlook on the war, as security conditions deteriorate and Ukrainian attacks increase. Meanwhile, Putin continues to project strength and may resort to tightening internal repression. Moscow maintains that it has no intention of launching a new wave of mobilization, amid escalating international tensions due to Western attacks and stances against Russia.
