Reply to comment by -PM_Me_Dat_Ass_Girl- in Russia plans next wave of mobilisation for January and February by HarakenQQ

Look at World War 2 numbers. Their strategy has always been to outlast by sending wave after wave. They lost more than a million men in the battle of Stalingrad alone within a 6 month period.

Russian citizens were motivated to fight in WW2. It was existential.

I get the impression the current demographic really doesn't have much desire to die in Ukraine for an absolutely pointless cause.

True but they're threatening them if they don't. They still seem to be fighting since it's a stalemate at the moment. Ukraine needs longer ranged missiles to keep pushing. Putin's just going to keep targeting energy infrastructure to draw this war out.
