1/ With losses escalating in Ukraine, a Russian region has ordered businesses to send their employees to fight. Varying recruitment quotas have been set depending on the size of the business. The 'voluntary-compulsory' scheme appears to be a de facto form of mobilisation. ⬇️

2/ 'Military Informant' publishes the text of the decree:

"The Governor of the Ryazan Region has established a plan for local businesses to recruit contract soldiers into the military."

3/ "According to a published decree by regional governor Pavel Malkov, all business entities in the Ryazan Region will be required to recruit candidates for contract military service in the Russian Armed Forces from 20 March 2026 to 20 September 2026:

4/ ▪️for enterprises with 150 to 300 employees - 2 people;
▪️for enterprises with 300 to 500 employees - 3 people;
▪️for enterprises with 500 or more employees - 5 people.

5/ "How businesses should ensure the implementation of this plan and what will happen if it is disrupted is unknown."

Andrey Filatov is incredulous: "Are we out of soldiers? How can this be?

❗️With these senior commanders, there will be no success."

6/ "Strategy without tactics is just intellectualising. At the tactical level, army commanders and brigade commanders can't handle smart warfare.

There's no creative thinking involved. It's all just pushing and shoving, with a merciless waste of manpower."

7/ Maybe commanders should try to avoid getting their men killed, suggests Maxim Kalashnikov: "This indicates that there aren't enough regular recruits. Have you tried protecting soldiers at the front and not sending them into frontal attacks, under drone fire?" /end
