All part of Putin's ethnic cleansing program.
First you reduce the undesirables from prison by sending them as cannon fodder on the front.
Disproportionate recruiting of ethnic minorities mobilised from within Russia, sent on to Ukraine as more cannon fodder.
Putin's war in Ukraine is yet another form of ethnic/ identity cleansing.
Reznikov also made a point to say this latest wave of conscription "concerns residents of large Russian cities." Moscow and St. Petersburg have largely been shielded from the Kremlin's mobilization drives, while ethnic minorities in other Russian regions have been found to be disproportionately called up.
