Russia is likely to initiate a new mobilization wave after the September 20th Duma elections, driven by a manpower deficit and the ongoing military stalemate in Ukraine. This timing is chosen to minimize public protests, despite the ceremonial nature of the elections, and some of these mobilized troops might be used to challenge NATO to reduce European support for Ukraine.
