Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a major buildup of his country’s military forces Thursday in an apparent effort to replenish troops that have suffered heavy losses in six months of bloody warfare and prepare for a long, grinding fight ahead in Ukraine.
The move to increase the number of troops by 137,000, or 13%, to 1.15 million by the end of the year came amid chilling developments on the ground in Ukraine.

But some Russian military analysts predicted heavier reliance on volunteers because of the Kremlin’s concerns about a potential domestic backlash from an expanded draft.
The move will boost Russia’s armed forces overall to 2.04 million, including the 1.15 million troops.

“More FAKE NEWS. This is an ENLARGEMENT, not a replacement of troops. He likely needs them to hold Kiev and whatever other cities he needs to hold in order to send the Neocons packing.”
Hold Kiev? When did the Russians take Kiev? Please provide us with the link.

One must keep in mind Nato and the US will be desperate when Vlad finishes rolling up the ethnic Russian territories. A wise and prudent man would prepare for an ill fated attempt by Nato to intervene.
Do keep in mind the Russian Congress ( Duma) has not even mobilized their armed forces. The Ukie on the other hand, are on their 8th mobilization, now requiring their woman to register….doesn’t sound like winning to me. Just saying.
Sounds like Sparky got loose from his chain outside Zel's back door.
“When did I say they took Kiev?”
How can they hold it if they don’t have it? Ergo, when did the Russians take Kiev?
“Sounds like Sparky got loose from his chain outside Zel’s back door.”
He does sound a bit emotionally unstable.
Grow up.

You cannot be as stupid as you’re trying to sound here, can you?
“He does sound a bit emotionally unstable.”
Too funny. You can’t respond to my question, so you automatically default to your normal childishness. You need to grow up, son.
“You cannot be as stupid as you’re trying to sound here, can you?”
You’re flailing, son; swinging at a windmill. At least Cervantes had honor, which is something wholly alien to you.
I’m not going to waste my time on your trolling here.
“I’m not going to waste my time on your trolling here.”
Wimp.
Are the Ukies in the Donbas going to launch their Great Offensive towards the Dnepr River soon?
That will certain drive the fleeing Russians through Artemivsk [Bakhmut] and Siversk.
growl up.
