When will Russia announce a new forced mobilization?

Human rights activists have recorded a decrease in fear of mobilization following the State Duma elections. The human rights project "Go to the Forest," which helps people avoid military service, has recorded a decline in the number of inquiries following the State Duma elections, its founder, Grigory Sverdlin, told Agency. The "Movement of Conscientious Objectors" has also begun receiving fewer inquiries from those liable for military service in recent weeks, according to Artem Klyga, head of the organization's legal department. The number of inquiries regarding emigration from Russia to the anti-war project "Ark" has also decreased, its founder, Anastasia Burakova, told Agency. Human rights activists cited a decline in concerns about potential mobilization as the main reason for this decline. Details. In September, "Go Away" received 4,414 requests, compared to 5,140 in August, Sverdlin reported. However, even after this decline, the number of requests remained significantly higher than at the beginning of the year. In the spring, the project received half as many requests. After the elections, the number of requests, according to Sverdlin, decreased by 10-15%. The "Movement of Conscientious Objectors" has recorded a decline in requests from reservists, Klyga reported. In September, they accounted for 25% of all requests to the organization, while in the first 13 days of October, they accounted for 17.1%, the human rights activist wrote. Meanwhile, the overall number of consultations provided by the "Movement of Conscientious Objectors" increased in October, but Klyga attributed this to the autumn conscription wave. Klyga directly linked the decline in requests from reservists to the failure of a new wave of mobilization. "Everyone was scared of mobilization, but it didn't happen, and interest dropped," the human rights activist wrote. "Someone breathed a sigh of relief," Sverdlin also believes. However, the founder of "Go to the Forest" noted that "people are still worried—a new wave of mobilization could begin at any moment." In October, a downward trend in requests for advice on emigrating from Russia was evident, Burakova wrote to the Agency. "Since the end of September, the number of questions about initial departure, legalization, and so on has already begun to decline," the Ark founder noted. In the second half of August, the project recorded an eightfold increase in such requests compared to May. According to Burakova, in August and September, the total number of requests averaged 1,300 per month (compared to 650-700 in April and June), of which more than 60% were about leaving Russia. "We haven't yet calculated the statistics for October, but overall, a downward trend is evident," the human rights activist noted. Burakova also linked the decline in requests to a reduction in fears of mobilization. "I think [people] have calmed down; I attribute August-September to rumors about mobilization after the elections (this, of course, is not the only reason, but it is a contributing factor)," the Ark founder believes. Context. The possibility of a new wave of mobilization in Russia has become a hot topic among experts, amid the heavy losses that intelligence agencies and experts estimate Russia is suffering at the front, signs of a decline in the recruitment of new contract soldiers, a slowdown in the advancement of the Russian army, and roundups of men in various regions. In early August, The Wall Street Journal, citing sources in Washington, reported that the Kremlin was considering a new wave of mobilization after the State Duma elections. In late August, The Economist, citing sources, reported that Putin intended to mobilize 300,000-400,000 people. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated at the end of August that Russia "plans for this to be a kind of peripheral mobilization." "Their current goal is an additional 300,000 for 2026, plus another for 2027," Zelenskyy asserted. Western intelligence agencies reported at the same time that in July, exercises were held in the Kaliningrad region to plan and practice procedures in the event of a mobilization of the region's residents. In September, the Russian army lost more than 50,000 servicemen killed and wounded, including up to 28,000 killed, Bloomberg reported, citing a senior NATO military official.

Russia is preparing the infrastructure for the mobilization of at least 300 thousand soldiers, — Zelensky ​ The President said that Moscow expects to additionally recruit at least 300 thousand people to the army. At the same time, it is not yet known whether the mobilization will be open or covert. ​ According to Zelensky, until the end of the elections, the Russian authorities will deny the preparation of mobilization so as not to create tension in society. Changes in the Kremlin's rhetoric may begin at the end of September. ​ The President believes that due to the lack of success on the front, Russia is intensifying air strikes on Ukraine and spreading false statements about the alleged capture of Ukrainian cities. ​ Zelensky gave examples of Sviatohirsk, which is controlled by the Ukrainian military, and Russian statements about approaching Sumy, calling them lies.

There is currently no scenario that would require mobilization in the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin stated at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum. Rumors about mobilization are an information attack by the enemy ahead of the State Duma elections in an attempt to influence the outcome, the president emphasized. He noted that Russians voluntarily sign contracts for the Air Defense Forces, unlike in Ukraine, where people are forcibly dragged to the front. Ukrainian troops lose 8,000-12,000 men monthly, Putin said. Subscribe to SHOT in MAX:

There are no plans for mobilization in Russia. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, answering questions from participants in the New Media Festival. He posted a fragment of his speech on his channel on the social network "Max." Medvedev noted that there are "quite enough" people who are already "fighting, having signed a contract" voluntarily. According to the politician, when in Ukraine "the unfortunate are being shoved onto buses, beaten, and dragged," the Ukrainian side "has no choice but to launch this topic [of mobilization in Russia] into the media landscape in order to reap dividends."

600 thousand new mobilized: Russia is preparing a large-scale replenishment of the army, — GUR and SZRU The Russian leadership is working on plans for additional mobilization of 300 thousand people in 2026 and another 300 thousand in 2027, Ukrainian intelligence reported. According to GUR and SZRU, the Russian General Staff has already prepared the appropriate option. The reason is the increase in losses at the front and the slowdown in the recruitment of contract soldiers. In January-July 2026, Russia lost about 240 thousand soldiers, of which at least 140 thousand were irretrievable. About 232 thousand people were recruited under contract during this period. For the upcoming mobilization, the Russian Federation is strengthening military accounting and preparing new mechanisms of coercion. In particular, they plan to expand recruitment among prisoners - people with convictions for a number of serious crimes may be recruited into the army. The Russian leadership has also agreed to the possibility of mobilizing and/or contracting certain categories of women who are in prisons and camps. The mobilized are planned to be trained for 15 to 60 days, and part of the training may be conducted at training grounds in Belarus. Intelligence notes that Russia is already preparing a system of additional pressure on potential mobilized people: restrictions on leaving the country, obtaining loans, real estate transactions, blocking bank accounts and other measures. Most likely, the Kremlin may decide on a new wave of mobilization after the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation, scheduled for September 18–20.
