was an interesting data point from someone directly impacted by who has the momentum. Interested to see what this 40 day thing announced by Zelensky turns out to be. And by bodies I mean those not from St. petersburg and Moscow. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce8n4l8elpgo  Previous MessageSomewhere between 1x and 2x the median Russian yearly salary. There is very nihilistic reporting about the recruit pool. Putin is essentially feeding the dregs of Russian society into the meat grinder. Because they are volunteers, Russian middle and upper classes don’t care. If Putin mobilizes the conscripts it’s a domestic political problem for him. Hence, the huge sums for volunteers. Previous MessageWho could possibly still be sincerely volunteering for that?
