The current Russian military retreat from some areas of Ukraine is sparking discussion in Russia. Calls for a nationwide mobilization to bolster the armed forces are becoming louder, though that's likely very unpopular.

..."Mobilization over winter not likely
Galeotti believes a mobilization is possible but currently unlikely.
"It's going to take about three months from the point where you declare mobilization to the point where you have troops, maybe 100,000-plus, actually available," he says.
Three months from now would be the middle of the winter when offensive operations are hardest, Galeotti said.
"I think it's more likely that if we see a mobilization, it'll be later so that they have the forces for a spring offensive; or more likely, to resist a Ukrainian spring offensive."
But the word mobilization is beginning to pick up traction. Despite criticism of the military, the general tone in the media remains patriotic. It may be possible that the Russian public is being prepared for the next escalation in the war."
