Russia's plan to expand its armed forces is unlikely to have an impact on the Ukraine war, the UK's Ministry of Defence has said.
Vladimir Putin recently signed a decree to increase the Russian armed forces' military personnel to more than 1.15m - a potential increase of 137,000.
But the MoD said the boost was unlikely to increase Russia's combat power - partly because of ongoing losses.
President Putin's decree came amid a military recruitment drive.
There have been reports that recruiters have even been visiting prisons, promising inmates freedom and money.
Currently, Russia has a limit of just over a million military personnel, plus almost 900,000 civilian staff.
If the planned increase would be achieved by recruiting more volunteers - or by increasing conscription.
But any increase was unlikely to have an impact in Ukraine given that:

U.S. recruitment is reportedly off, too.
Reminds me of the old sixties poster:
“What if they gave a war — and nobody came?”
Scraping the bottom of the barrel now...

Stepping up efforts in St Pete and Moskva areas - otherwise, the barrel has been scraped once elsewhere, and now just using toothpick to pry out remainders missed with the scrapper.
All you do is repeat Biden regime propaganda, which is constantly been proven to be a lie>
Russia is kicking Ukraine's ass. And, there is nothing that will stop the Russians from taking all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper river and entire Black Sea coastline.
Only a fool would believe Ukraine could ever gain back the territory that has already been liberated by the Russians. The people those areas WANT to be part of the Russian Federation. Those in Donetsk and Lugansk have been fighting for eight years to be free of Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis that have persecuted them because of their Russian ethnicity.
But, just to refute the latest lie you're repeating here:

The Russian Federation consists of 85 federal subjects which are federal cities, oblast, republics or autonomous ethnic regions. In June the Kremlin asked the governors of each of these subjects to set up one or more volunteer battalions of former soldiers who are no longer active reservists. The bigger federal subjects, like Moscow and St.Petersburg, will set up multiple units. On August 8 Kommersant reported (in Russian) that some 20 federal subjects had already set up 40 battalions and that more will become available (machine translation):
In the Perm Territory, a motorized rifle company "Parma" of 90 people and a tank battalion "Molot" (about 160 people) are being formed. Another tank battalion named after Kuzma Minin is being created in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The Amur region, as reported in mid-July by local media, is gathering the Amursky motorized rifle battalion, which is expected to consist of 400-500 people. On the website of the government of the Leningrad Region, an announcement appeared about the recruitment to the artillery battalions "Nevsky" and "Ladoga". And in the Tyumen region, they announced the formation of three units at once with different specializations: the Tobol sapper battalion, the Taiga sniper company and the Siberia artillery battalion. According to the official version, Tobol was formed on the initiative of veterans of the Tyumen Higher Military Engineering Command School. The first groups of volunteers from these units went to the NWO at the end of July. The people in these units have signed contracts with the Ministry of Defense. They will be equipped with refurbished weapons out of Russia's endless depot reserves that are left from earlier downsizing. These are now full times soldiers for which the Ministry of Defense had yet to have a budget. All that Putin's new order does is to arrange the funding for those new volunteer units.
To form military units, named after local heroes, from men who come from the same region has some advantages. These people will not feel like strangers to each other which gives them some extra cohesion.The Chechen units which are already operating in Ukraine have shown that such an approach can be very successful. The regional approach has also the advantage of involving every part of Russia in the endeavor. It makes the 'special military operation' in Ukraine a national project.
While the men in these units will be older than fresh recruits they will also have valuable life and work experience. These new units will probably not be the most agile but they will certainly be able to do a decent job. Moreover these are trained soldiers who will have the standard tanks and other equipment for combined arms operations. Their units will be way more powerful than the drafted Territorial Defense and Jager Infantry Brigades that now make up the bulk of the Ukrainian forces. Currently the new units are training at various facilities throughout Russia. When they are ready they will start their rotation into Ukraine.
Russia lost 200+ paratroopers yesterday to a HIMARS attack.
It’s going to get worse. Much worse.

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
Poor Kazan. Nightmare in Kherson yesterday and today for you and Putin. So many goodwill gestures, I’ve lost count. And the party continues right now. LOL!
LOL, Kherson!
Nightmare in Kherson for Putin this weekend. Lots of real-time help from USA right now.
Party weekend in Kherson. Still happening.
Spam-a-lam-a-ding-dong.
"In bourgeois terms, it was a war between the Allies and Germany. In Bolshevik terms, it was a war between the Allied and German upper classes - and which of them won was of total indifference. My task was to organize defeat, so as to hasten the onset of revolution. I enlisted under the name of Petrov. The party looked to the peasant conscript soldiers - many of whom were wearing their first real pair of boots. When the boots had worn out, they'd be ready to listen. When the time came, I was able to take three whole battalions out of the front lines with me - the best day's work I ever did. But for now, there was nothing to be done. There were too many volunteers. Most of it was mere hysteria."
Kherson referendum on Sept 11? LOL!
When are you leaving for Ukraine to fight ?
You and your fellow neocons are doing the equivalent of reading fairy tales to small children.
You're the clown that told us Putin was dead in May and had blood, thyroid and stomach cancer and Parkinson's. Yet, he's spry and energic as 35-year old in all the recent videos.,P> There is going to come a day, soon, when you're going to have admitted you've been lying to everyone here.
BBC is scraping he bottom of the barrel...LOL
do you trolls get paid more on weekends?
