Russia denies it’s preparing for a new mass mobilization as battlefield losses mount, maintaining it only sends volunteers to fight in Ukraine. But CNN’s Clare Sebastian has exchanged messages with a number of Russians who say their relatives were forced or deceived into joining the military, and human rights groups speak of a sharp rise in coercive tactics. Some are calling it a “creeping mobilization”.
