The United States has determined that Russia is suffering "severe manpower shortages" in its six-month-old war with Ukraine and has become more desperate in its efforts to find new troops to send to the front lines, according to a new American intelligence finding disclosed Wednesday.
Russia is looking to address the shortage of troops in part by compelling soldiers wounded earlier in the war to return to combat, recruiting personnel from private security companies and even recruiting from prisons, according to a U.S. official who spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity to discuss the downgraded intelligence finding.
The official added that the intelligence community has determined that one step that Russia's Defense Ministry is expected to take soon is recruiting convicted criminals to enlist "in exchange for pardons and financial compensation."

Trudeau said Global Warming is making it easier for Russia to attack Canada ,LOL
You sure don’t see any ILLEGAL ALIENS wading across the Atlantic wanting to do the jobs the Russkis don’t want to do.
“US: Russian Military Facing ‘Severe Manpower Shortages’”
Whatever it takes to get the next batch of funding released.
By the way, has the US been right about anything regarding this war, such as the Ruble collapsing?
I’m no russian supporter. But anytime they “downgrade” intelligence it’s not really intelligence, but propaganda.
So is the US, but for a different reason.................😉
I give Putin a week, he’s about to surrender. Z will rule Russia.
Irony. The US can’t meet its recruitment goals either.
> Trudeau said Global Warming is making it easier for Russia to attack Canada <
Yes. It’s quite the race to the bottom. Global Warming is making Canada defenseless. But at the same time the Russian army is falling apart.
Maybe they will surrender to each other simultaneously.
Well, there is always women...
Well first off, how to they know they and Men (Manpower).
(/confused-leftist-mode-off)
The issie is that this has been saod on March, May, July amd now September from the same ‘intelligence’ agencies, including the CIA and MI6. I don’t think there’s any real intelligence there. Meanwhile Communist Putin plays the Western Fabian Socialists for the fools they are.
Soon the Russians will start offering “security work” to willing Americans.
“But at the same time the Russian army is falling apart.”
Russia has 600,000 active troops that aren’t even in this operation.
Ukraine is winning! Ukraine is winning! The Russians will surrender any day now. How long are we going to throw money down this rathole?
WSJ: Russia continues to rake in *record* oil profits by selling it at a discount to Saudi Arabia/UAE who either burn it for domestic purposes and sell us theirs at market price or to disguise its origin and then sell it to us at market price.

The Ukrainian military, despite claims of a “counteroffensive” in the south of the country, most likely will not be able to recapture the territory controlled by the Russian army either this year or next, The Washington Post
Out of troops!

Wow, at first I thought you were talking about the US military, their recruiting is down 25 percent, and many are leaving due to mandates, woke and transgender training.
That said, Vlad has no shortage of troops. Do be aware their Congress ( Duma) has not even mobilized their military- yet. Vlad is doing well with his 130,000 army in Ukraine, against 650,000 Ukies ( now depleted).The Ukies on the other hand are on their lucky 8th mobilization-18-60 year olds and now woman are having to register.
What next? The Hitler Youth groups? 14-60?…..it won’t surprise me.
