I agree, it is an important factor, and I believe there's a significant shortage of personnel on the frontline on Russian side, considering how Russian commanders (historically) like this "meat wave" tactic. But Putin of course can't start the new draft before re-election, and the more he delays it the worse it would be, information that you might never return spreads.
I think he originally thought that he has a significant reserve in law enforcement.

They are abundant in Russia, but it turned out that they actually don't want to be there and they are better prepared to fight for there right not to. Looks like numbers of those who were willing to do it for the money has also significantly diminished. Well, you can always grab some students right on the streets, but greenhorns are of little use, besides sending whose who are strongly against it to the frontline is poor for the morale.
