I wonder if this will actually be passed, or if it is designed as a threat to coerce currently serving Russian servicemen who are refusing to deploy.

Draft law to criminalise refusal to take part in combat actions proposed to Russian State Duma. Sentence up to 10 years of penal colony https://t.co/d3LXfK9SIV https://t.co/T5TzMl0W6f

The number of Russian soldiers who are refusing to fight is not an insignificant number. 20-40% of units in some cases. Getting them to fight, even if unmotivated, would provide an important manpower boost. But it is still a short-term solution to a longer-term problem.

The problem is that the # of refuseniks is substantial so this would depend on successful coercion. And if you have units with several soldiers who don't want to fight, you'll have an increase in soldiers sabotaging their vehicles, disobedience, etc. Nightmare for morale.

@Poutsup They don't have any good options, so they keep pursuing short-term solutions without a long-term plan. It is just Whac-A-Mole applied to manpower problems.

Good point. Even if passed, it isn't clear how it will be applied. The Kremlin certainly hopes this is enough to coerce refuseniks to fight, but doesn't actually want to put many soldiers in prison. Maybe there will one or two well-publicized cases. 3/

@maryilyushina:
Judging by two swift hearings in the Duma today it will most likely get passed, but the language of the law is quite broad and mentions “in case of ongoing combat actions.” So I wonder if this would be used as a threat regardless of the legal status of “military operation” https://t.co/A4O13PUhO0

@maxseddon The thing is when Putin wants to make a move, he does not care about the legal framework. He just acts. This looks more like a political move to stress the audience. Although, of course, this does not mean that mobilization will not begin in the near future

The law on holding a "referendum" in the so-called "Luhansk People's Republic" [regarding it becoming a subject of the Russian Federation] was unanimously adopted by deputies of the People's Council of the republic, State Duma deputy Vodolatsky announced.
