Russian political analyst Dmitry Oreshkin argued that Putin’s mobilization will make the Russian military’s failures in the war more personal for many Russians. “Until recently (the Russians participated) with pleasure, sitting on their sofas, (watching) television. And now the war has entered their house,” he told the AP. “People will evade this mobilization in every possible way, they will bribe their way out of this mobilization, they will leave the country.”
