British analysts explain that the Russian government is implementing a system of information exchange between the Ministry of Defense and the Federal Security Service.

British intelligence emphasizes that Russia conducts two conscription campaigns every year, drafting more than 250,000 people a year.
The agency also reminded that after the announcement of partial mobilization in 2022, hundreds of thousands of Russians left the country.
Since most of the migrants at that time were concentrated among young and highly educated people, this had a negative effect on the labor market.
The introduction of this system is likely intended to prevent this from happening again on a smaller scale during the annual conscription cycle and in the event of a new wave of mobilization
