Russia Facing 'Difficult Choice' As Troop Numbers Dwindle
Russia is facing a "difficult choice" about whether to carry out a further mobilization of its forces as the country continues to lose troops in its invasion of Ukraine, according to the U.K. Ministry of Defense (MOD)
"The Russian leadership faces the difficult choice of either continuing to deplete its forces, scale back objectives, or conduct a further form of mobilization," the update concluded.
That decision will ultimately be taken by Putin.
In October, the partial mobilization was ended after 300,000 new recruits were added to Russia's forces.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said the recruitment drive was complete and told Putin in a televised conversation: "No further measures are planned."
However, Putin's decree ordering partial mobilization remains in force and that has fueled concerns that more Russians may be called up.

"deplete its forces" is one heck of a euphemism.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
