The Russian mobilization system will likely fail to produce mobilized reserve forces even of the low quality that #Putin’s plans would have generated unless the #Kremlin can rapidly fix fundamental and systemic problems.

...that Russian military recruitment centers, enlistment officials, and local administrations are mobilizing men who do not meet the #Kremlin’s stated criteria, especially #Shoigu’s promise that mobilization would prioritize men with “combat experience.”
