A major problem for Russia is that if they start a massive conscription drive that will deplete their worker force at home. Russia is not only facing a shortage of troops but a shortage of production and general labour. They need people at home producing both military equipment/supplies and basic goods.
On top of diverting their workforce away from actually working and towards the military, hundreds of thousands of working age Russians are also leaving the country.
