It also signals that Putin realizes that losing this war would pose a significant domestic threat to his rule. What is the bigger risk for him: mobilization, use of tactical nuclear weapons, or losing the Donbas and other occupied areas of Ukraine? — PolitiTweet.org

@stick631 Agreed. — PolitiTweet.org

If Russia decides to escalate, the first step would likely be to deploy the conscript battalions in the Russian military rather than necessarily mobilizing Russian society or conscripting civilians across Russia. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

@klinovp I think it would be politically quite risky to imprison hundreds or thousands of soldiers who choose to not fight in this war. — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
The medium and long-term military factors favor Ukraine. This may achieve short-term benefits, but it would likely lead to greater problems over time. Conscripts currently serving will be less likely to sign contracts and a much higher % of Russians will dodge the fall draft. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

@Mortis_Banned @SpBDaveTDC What do you do if several soldiers sabotage their equipment? Do you arrest a significant % of your unit that is supposed to be holding part of the line? I can imagine many ways in which this goes wrong. — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
My tentative view is that the Kremlin is still resisting mobilization and will try everything short of it first (e.g. recruiting prisoners). Russia's strategy since April has involved a # of short-term solutions strung together in hopes that they would lead to long-term success. — PolitiTweet.org

@Mortis_Banned But more difficult to prove equipment damage was due to negligence than outright refusal. Plus, I can imagine most Russian equipment isn't in the best shape. — PolitiTweet.org

Good point. Even if passed, it isn't clear how it will be applied. The Kremlin certainly hopes this is enough to coerce refuseniks to fight, but doesn't actually want to put many soldiers in prison. Maybe there will one or two well-publicized cases. 3/ https://t.co/ccRYEPVL9Y — PolitiTweet.org

@Poutsup They don't have any good options, so they keep pursuing short-term solutions without a long-term plan. It is just Whac-A-Mole applied to manpower problems. — PolitiTweet.org
Rob Lee @RALee85
The problem is that the # of refuseniks is substantial so this would depend on successful coercion. And if you have units with several soldiers who don't want to fight, you'll have an increase in soldiers sabotaging their vehicles, disobedience, etc. Nightmare for morale. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Lee @RALee85
The number of Russian soldiers who are refusing to fight is not an insignificant number. 20-40% of units in some cases. Getting them to fight, even if unmotivated, would provide an important manpower boost. But it is still a short-term solution to a longer-term problem. — PolitiTweet.org

@vfroloff Possible, but I don't think spetsnaz brigades are given battlespace to control, nor artillery, aircraft, and other support equipment. And they have their own recruiting and training system. Not sure they are still under operational control of the GRU as in Syria. — PolitiTweet.org

@KofmanMichael They're certainly dependent on logistics, ammunition, and other support (though they have their own artillery and Su-25) from the Russian military but not sure about operational control. Feels as though Prigozhin is trying to act as an equivalent to a group commander or higher. — PolitiTweet.org
