“ Soon another 250k Russiam soldiers will graduate into the active army forces.”

I’m not sure how this really benefits the Russians in Ukraine. Unlike the Ukrainians, whose military members serve “for the duration” (until either death or they are invalided out), Russians serve for fixed terms. I read that many only need to serve 6 months of duty in Ukraine to achieve eligibility for discharge. This, of course, must be very demoralizing for members of the Ukrainian military and their families.
Russia is grappeling with the idea of sending 200,000 to 300,000 home. They may waut until December. In Jan 25 another 325,000 will be trained again. The old 2023 Russian manpower requirements called for 1.7m in Ukraine. Hower, the FABs and 4000x per say drone production cuts by 75-90% actual combat assaults. Personnel mileage varies.
