It is noted that Russian officials continue to justify the Kremlin’s decision not to comply with the reserve at this time, despite the signs that the Russian army is trying to gain enough new personnel to replace high losses.

The chairman of the Committee on Defense of the State Duma of Russia Andriy Kartapolov declared on February 4 that Russia does not need to carry out another partial compulsory conscription for the reserve, since Russia now has a “advantage on the battlefield”

Member of the State Duma Defense Committee Viktor Sobolev added that 740 000 persons signed contracts for military service in the Russian army – probably since the beginning of a full -scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine in 2022 – and stated that the mobilization “would only aggravate the situation” because it would only people without prior military experience or specialized skills.

However, they add in the report, the Russian military may have difficulty with a set of enough new servicemen.

At the end of 2024 and in January 2025, ISW was reported that the monthly conscription to the Russian army is probably equal or is lower than the amount required to replace the monthly loss of Russia to each other

ISW also received a report that individual Russian subjects of the Federation cannot fulfill their monthly quotas for the call, since citizens are less willing to fight volunteers.

On February 3, the Ministry of Defense of Russia proposed a project of amendments, which provide for a change in the classification of certain diseases, diseases and disorders of military personnel who are serving, as well as for those who conclude contracts for the conscription service.

The Ministry of Defense of Russia proposed to retrade syphilis, hypertension, atrophic disorders of the central nervous system, skin diseases, schizophrenia, psychotic disorders, affective disorders and other health problems on lighter ailments that do not deprive the right to serve

The Institute of War Study also reported that the Ministry of Defense of Russia will complicate the conscripts of receiving release from military service for health reasons and will complicate the procedure for the release of mobilized and servicemen who have signed a contract for military service.

Key conclusions ISW for February 4:

• The CEO of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Raphael Marianne Grossi visited the electrical substation in the Kiev region on February 4 to evaluate its damage, as Russian blows from a great distance through energy infrastructure continue to threaten Ukrainian nuclear power plants and energy production capabilities in Ukraine.
• Russian officials continue to justify the Kremlin’s decision not to make a compulsory conscription, despite the signs that the Russian military is fighting for attracting sufficient new personnel that would replace high losses.
• The Russian occupation authorities continue to discuss the possible illegal occupation of Kharkiv region, but claims that in September 2022, the counter -offensive of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region destroyed Russia’s plans for holding a “referendum” in the region at that time.
• A considerable number of Russian vessels who have been in Tartus’s port in recent weeks may have left Syria and returned to Russia, as Russian-Syrian negotiations on Russia’s further access to their databases in Syria are ongoing.
• The strikes of Ukrainian drones probably forced Russia to dramatically change the routes of Russian ships between Russia and Syria.
• It is reported that Russia also uses vessels belonging to the Defense Defense Company, to monitor NATO vessels in the Baltic Sea.
• Recently, Russian troops advanced near Kupyansk.
• The Russian blogger associated with the Kremlin claims that Russian troops continue to deal with systemic problems in the Seversky direction, and field commanders are submitting false reports on progress, despite recent changes in the command.
