Conscripts could be used to increase the defense workforce and produce more weapons. They could also be used to operate logistics, which seems to be a weak spot with the Russian army. Or they could be deployed out to posts around the country, freeing up the regular army folk there so they can be redeployed to Ukraine.
Pushing untrained conscripts right to the front lines to be slaughtered would be an incredibly stupid thing to do. It would kill troop morale, hurt public support, and the gain in combat effectiveness would be minimal unless they are trained, equipped, and supported.
