The Kremlin's dual focus on military recruitment and encouraging higher birth rates reflects a desperate attempt to maintain national strength amidst ongoing conflict and economic isolation.
Recruitment for the army has been aggressively promoted, with doubled bonuses and extensive advertising, showcasing the Kremlin's urgent need for more soldiers in wartime.
