Contrary to common claims of Russian propaganda. Putin never called off previous mobilization! We actually do know that reservists were called to arms from beginning of the war. At least in border areas. Russian "milion" army seams to already include reservists. Who especially were called during the mobilization. Russia already cleaned Siberia from potential "volunteers" and mobilization was only hidden, with conscripts and those called for training being forced to sign contracts (sometimes also public workers). There is sufficient evidence that Russia is clean and claimed army expansion is to cover the losses, as Russia deny those. This correlate with fact that any future mobilization would at this point hit the economy and already operating in wartime conditions military industry. Of course Putin fight to last Russian, so he probably would do it. But collapse of Russian supplies is unavoidable at this point. Also I remind that Ukraine intentionally hide composition of they forces, by mixing units. Not because losses.
