A draft is not the best sign. The important leverage Russia holds against Europe depends on the fact that Russia has natural gas and Europe doesn't. If Ukraine gets the east back, Europe no longer needs Russia. I understand how this is somewhat life and death for Russia, but a draft just indicates that you've lost, but now with more death.
