I’ve seen Ukraine supporters claiming the Russia is conscripting anti-war protesters. The only sources I’ve seen for this are western, and the statement on the partial mobilization clarifies that it’s a mobilization strictly of already enlisted military personnel.

I highly doubt it’s true, but if anyone has sources or knows more about this I’d like to better understand it.

    Interesting thing about conscription: No matter how desperarte an army gets, there is a laundry list of things that a person needs to go through before they can get shipped off to a warzone. Otherwise you’re just making your forces weaker.
