Lots of rumors swirling around recently about an impending new wave of mobilization in Russia, up to and including general mobilization. As noted by Mozhem Obyasnit, only during the past two weeks the Russian legislature adopted the following laws:
  • allowing people who are sick, partially disabled, or over 65 to enlist for military service,
  • allowing people who have been found guilty of serious crimes to enlist for military service,
  • revoking the right to seek deferment from mobilization for scientists (including PhDs),
  • revoking the right to travel abroad for people who are subject to conscription and who have received a summons from the military commissariat.

WaPo cites unnamed State Department officials as claiming that there's growing appetite for escalation in the WH due to Russia's failure to act upon its declared "red lines" being crossed. They go on to say that the Pentagon is actually being more cautious right now than the Biden administration.
“Do they need it? Can they use it? Do we have it? What is the Russian response going to be?” said a senior State Department official. Like others interviewed for this report, this person spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations.
The official said Russia’s reluctance to retaliate has influenced the risk calculus of Secretary of State Antony Blinken, a key Biden confidant who has been an influential voice encouraging the administration and U.S. allies to do more to support Ukraine.

“You factor that in your decision-making. We did this — there was no escalation or response — can we do the next thing? We’re constantly weighing those factors, and it becomes the hardest judgment call we have to make,” said the official.

Concerns around civilian safety spiked in Ukraine on Saturday, as officials announced that an inspection had found nearly a quarter of the country’s air-raid shelters locked or unusable, just days after a woman in Kyiv allegedly died waiting outside a shuttered shelter during a Russian missile barrage.
The Ukrainian interior ministry said through its press service Saturday that of the “over 4,800” shelters it had inspected, 252 were locked and a further 893 “unfit for use.”
