📢The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported that the Kremlin is setting conditions for potential mobilization and preparing for civil unrest in Russia. The Russian State Duma passed a bill on July 22 allowing citizens with unexpunged or active criminal records to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense during formal mobilization periods. Russian Deputy Defense Minister Viktor Goremykin stated the bill aims to expand the pool of eligible military personnel and facilitate recruitment for the war in Ukraine in 2026. Russia's Rosgvardia published proposed amendments on July 21 to expand civil defense regulations to protect society during mobilization, martial law, and wartime. Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill in November 2025 permitting the deployment of reservists to combat areas without declaring formal mobilization, which ISW assessed would be used for rolling partial reserve call-ups. The Kremlin is preparing to announce formal mobilization and potentially declare martial law in anticipation of civil unrest, given the high unpopularity of mobilization within Russian society. Analysts note that the decision to mobilize remains highly personal for Putin and depends on his assessment of battlefield stability. It is unclear if or when Putin will announce mobilization. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he does not rule out the possibility that Putin could announce mobilization after Russia's parliamentary elections.
