The Russian Federation passes the laws so that volunteers themselves want to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense - ISW

Analysts mentioned the words of Russian expatriate Dmitry Medvedev, who expressed a desire to turn the service into a prestigious phenomenon, but at the same time with combat support problems. The Russian Federation is trying to show favorable conditions to attract as many volunteers as possible to the army who will be fighting against Ukraine. This is stated in the report of the American Institute of War Study of August 3.

According to analysts, the Kremlin wants to get the population involved in hostilities. Recently, Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree on compulsory state insurance of life and health of volunteers and mobilized, who were sent to the war against Ukraine.

Former Russian Head of State and Deputy Security Council Dmitry Medvedev previously stated that he wanted to contract a prestigious phenomenon and since the beginning of the year the Ministry of Defense has gained 231,000 volunteers. The journalists then stated that even if it is true, it is most likely not only about recruits, because the management is recruiting staff with Wagner PEC, who agreed to sign contracts.

By the way, Russian "military" states that the level of combat support of the military leaves much to be desired. In the Belgorod and Kursk region, territorial defense detachments have not received combat machine guns. Instead, they were given hunting rifles. In the Republic of Bashkortostan, analysts mentioned, a volunteer regiment was formed, consisting of at least 10 volunteer units and battalions.
