The Russian authorities are looking for "fresh" military personnel by all means available to be used in the war in Ukraine. Lately, more and more Russians are refusing to go to war.

Details: Against the backdrop of military failures and heavy losses, the command of the Russian Armed Forces is trying to recruit new people to participate in the war against Ukraine. However, neither veteran status, nor the offer of extra money seems to help these attempts.

Quote: "There are cases of mass refusal of Russian military personnel from conducting ‘business trips’ to Ukraine to take part in hostilities, despite promises to grant the status of ‘war veteran’, additional daily allowances and increased salaries."
