Russia will update the figure at a time of her choosing. But if this takes place very soon, in all logic the updated number might be below or close to 3000.
Not sure what responsibility you're referring to, but compared to western regimes the Russian government has had continuously better approval rates, approval rates which increased again to exceed 70% since the start of the military intervention in Ukraine. I find no reason why this should change in the foreseeable future.
What are such random anecdotes supposed to prove? And I wonder what country this is, where the wealthier segments of citizenry are making up the bulk of the armed forces? Certainly that country isn't located in the west. A considerable percentage of lower ranking soldiers in the US army cite the pay as their prime motivation for joining the military.
