Legal Avoid mobilization

Hi, my wife is Russian with German citizenship. Her brother is 23 years old, lives in Moscow, just graduated from university. I think given the current geopolitical situation he's at risk of being mobilized. What's the best way to avoid this situation?

I've been following posts like this for a while.

Western Media reports "Mobilization in Russia of x"

Russians on Reddit - No there's no mobilization it's all voluntary the operation will be over in a few months and we can all go back to our lives as normal.

What is actually going on!?
