The reason Putin, with evident reluctance, felt forced to call up hundreds of thousands more is that so many of his best troops had already been slaughtered 
Footage of Russian troops being told to take their wives' and girlfriends' tampons for putting in any wounds they receive, as no tourniquets are available—”MUTINY”
Such an ugly term.
The men are a bit misguided.
They were attacking in the wrong direction.
“An army without leaders is like a foot without a big toe.”
And their leaders were incapacitated...
Tragically, many of the conscripts were recently “pressed” into service from what is Ukrainian territory.
Many are not pur sang Russian and Putin is more than happy for some ethnic cleansing.
NB: very few conscripts come from Moscow or Saint Petersburg.
Most are coming from far-off states of the Russian Federation.
In the state of Dagestan, they had sound trucks calling for ALL MALES to report to the military commissariat!!
Also, a video of the President of Dagestan PISSED about this; Taking even a small percent of the male population will push the economy further into the abyss.
“Russia Has NO PLAN For Their Soldiers After Mobilization”
Anything can be a tourniquet. A rag, a string, a belt. LOL. That propaganda is even stupider than your usual bilge.
