To Resolve as YES:
Russia officially orders a binding draft/conscription requiring at least 300,000 additional able-bodied citizens between 18-60 to report for military service
The stated purpose must be to significantly increase forces for the Ukraine war
A covert/undeclared mobilization of this scale under the guise of the current "partial mobilization" would count
To Resolve as NO:
Russia does not order a new draft/conscription meeting the above criteria by December 31, 2024
Continuation of current policies and personnel levels
The determination will be based on official Russian government statements, legislation, and actions, as well as reporting from credible international media.
1,000
3.00@mxxun for that matter, aiui current policies might well result in 200k-300k additional recruits across the year. That sounds like both Yes and No.
