Reports indicate that military conscription in Russia decreased by 20% in the first quarter of 2026, despite the substantial financial incentives offered by the government to attract young people to participate in the war with Ukraine.

Analysts expect that these efforts will be followed by unpopular decisions aimed at continuing the war.
