Not quite so. Last time Putin mobilized that cause mass migration and some limited protests. In the mean time some mercenaries went on a day trip to Moscow and he still does not call the war in Ukraine a war.

In other words it is not obvious that Putin can just call more Russian men to the front on a large scale, without causing trouble for himself.
