Russia is actively pursuing "silent" mobilization

The Center for Counteracting Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine reports that the Russian authorities, without declaring mobilization, continue to massively recruit contract soldiers for the war with the Ukrainians. The CPD reports this on Telegram .

More than 22,200 vacancies for servicemen under a contract have appeared in the regional employment centers of the Russian Federation, the report says.

According to the NSDC CPD, at least seven units that fought in Ukraine posted vacancies for the recruitment of snipers, gunners, drivers, health instructors and other specialists.

Recruiting contractors and units involved in the killings and torture of civilians in the city of Bucha. These are the 64th motorized rifle brigade from the Khabarovsk Territory (military unit No. 51460) and the 104th Guards Air Assault Regiment (military unit No. 32515).

The 37th motorized rifle brigade (military unit No. 69647) from Buryatia is ready to accept the largest number of recruits, it is in second place in terms of the number of dead.

These vacancies point to the losses of the Russian army and the general problem with the recruitment of military personnel. According to British intelligence, it was the lack of human resources that forced Russian troops to take a break before advancing into the Donetsk region, the National Security and Defense Council summarized.

Russia launched a full-scale armed invasion of Ukraine on February 24. In addition to the actual military personnel of the Russian army in Ukraine, employees of the Russian Guard, fighters of the armed detachments of the so-called "DPR" and "LPR" and mercenaries of private military companies are also fighting on the Russian side. The death toll of the Russian military exceeded 36,000.
