As Donald Trump signals a possible peace deal, Vladimir Putin is moving Russia in the opposite direction. Moscow has approved year-round conscription, expanded the role of reservists, and quietly prepared new forces to guard critical infrastructure. New decrees allow peacetime deployments, while recruitment targets for 2026 are already making waves across Europe. Officials insist this is not mobilization, but the scale and timing raise questions. With foreign recruits, reserve units and mass enlistment plans emerging together, is Russia preparing for a long, grinding conflict?
