Desperate Vladimir Putin faces public revolt as Russia forced to call up even MORE men to face Ukraine

 Vladimir Putin is risking a public revolt as he plans a new set of military call-ups.

Sources told Russian media the next wave of mobilisation could come after elections to the State Duma - Russia's lower chamber - in September.

The number of men choosing to fight in Ukraine has fallen by a third this spring, compared with this time last year. 

As a result, the Kremlin is under pressure to replenish its faltering invading army after record-high fatalities of more than 30,000 per month.

Military and presidential sources told Russian media the idea of mobilisation was on the table for the first time since 2022. In September 2022, some 70,000 Russians fled the country - roughly the size of the entire fighting force in Ukraine.

The mobilisation disproportionately affected the young and educated, with 85 per cent of Russian men under 35, and 80 per cent having some form of higher education.
