Regional authorities are reportedly already issuing recruitment quotas for contract military service to businesses. Companies that do not send employees to the war can instead pay to recruit “volunteers.” In some cases, the cost of such recruitment is said to reach up to 450,000 rubles per person. Similar practices are reportedly being implemented across various regions of the Russian Federation.
