Over the past three years, more than 20,000 cases have been brought to Russian military courts on charges relating to the refusal of individuals to serve in Russia’s armed forces, 17,721 of which have resulted in convictions, independent news outlet Mediazona reported on Thursday based on court data.

According to Mediazona, most cases —18,159 — related to the “unauthorised abandonment of a unit”, which carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison upon conviction.

A smaller quantity — 1,369 cases — were tied to a less stringent law, which covers the “non-execution of an order” and provides for up to three years in prison as punishment, while a third group — 1,010 — were filed under a law concerning desertion, for which a defendant can be sentenced to 15 years in prison, Mediazona reported.

According to Mediazona’s figures, prosecutions in Russia hit an all-time high in the spring, with approximately 1,000 cases referred to courts around the country every month, though that figure has fallen slightly in recent months.

By contrast, the number of cases relating to the refusal of service is increasing in Ukraine, with 15,000-20,000 cases opened each month by investigators there, according to statistics from Ukraine’s Office of the Prosecutor General.

However, in Ukraine, Mediazona reports, only a few hundred cases per month are actually brought to court, and in approximately two thirds of these, prosecutors request that the defendants not be held criminally liable.

The Insider reported that Moscow uses a systematic program of "gulag-style" abuse directed at its soldiers in Ukraine in order to "maintain order" and punish perceived offenders.

Reports of Russian soldiers being abused by commanders and fellow troops have emerged since the full-scale war against Ukraine began.

Moscow has only intensified its war effort despite calls by Kyiv, the U.S., and European partners for an unconditional ceasefire as a first step towards a peace deal.

According to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russia recruits around 40,000-45,000 men for its military every month.

Although Russia did go through phases of mobilization and has made great use of its prison population, most new recruits have for a while been volunteer contract soldiers, lured in by one-time signup bonuses often more than several years’ average salary in poorer regions of Russia.

In late 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to increase the size of Russia’s Armed Forces to about 2.4 million, including 1.5 million military personnel.
