I'd argue against that claim by pointing out there are reports of Russia moving to mobilize college students. Coupled with mass exodus from Russia by young and middle-aged men, its becoming obvious Russia cannot rely too heavily on its general population to get this done. Especially since the entire world, sans China to a degree, has turned its back on them.

This latest offensive has produced nominal gains at best when they needed it to be exponentially more effective than the Ukrainian offensive last Fall.

the fact that various ethnic regions had to warn their citizens against Moscow's recruitment was again, another major story that I feel didn't go well reported

Median age for men in Russia is like 40, they’re staring into a population crater just like Japan and China

Agreed.

I'm not sure if was here or Reddit, but I saw an infographic this week on where the bulk of Russian casualties come from. The overwhelming majority are from the eastern and southern regions of the country that have large ethnic populations. Relatively few are from the region of Moscow. I believe this is done intentionally. Not because of ethno-cleansing; but because having white, baby-faced Russian boys being shipped home in crates by the trainload is terrible PR internally.
