Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian army to increase the number of service members to 1.5 million from 2023 to 2026, according to a briefing of Russia's defense ministry.
Russian defense minister Sergei Shoigu last mentioned the goal of expanding the army from 1 million to 1.5 million, including 695,000 contracted soldiers, during a Dec. 21 meeting with Putin and his defense chiefs.
According to the Russian defense ministry's Telegram channel, there are plans to create additional divisions, corps and military districts, as well as strengthen existing ones.

And there you have it. Blaming Putin for the war in Uke is blaming the victim.
What did Uke need 14 virus research labs for?
Empty. Nobody home.
Among the most Vacuous I have encountered.
Tell it to Rwanda. Or Tibet.
Or any country that has been invaded and we ignored.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
But *sure*, we are helping Ukraine to Be Nice!
😂😂😂
I’m sure Allegra is great.
Except she called me a Biden supporter.
And can’t answer if she’s a Trump supporter. Which I am.
So I think she, and you, are ridiculous.
I’ve noticed asking if they support Trump, is like garlic to a vampire for a lot of Ukraine haters.
Because they don’t support Trump and are afraid to say it here.
Whatever.
I don’t have a tv, and I read.
I also watched the videos at the Two Month Training camp.
Maybe state media is selling lies again, just like they always do to demonize the other side in a war.
Never knew that happened?
Check out the Kuwait debacle. This is how we roll when votes and cash are needed to order up a war.

Yep. Unhinged. Foaming at the mouth.
As the Brits would say, he’s gone ‘round the bend.
Thank you for your kind words. :)
You support Biden.
Unfortunately, FR is infected with these vile trolls who attack those who question our authoritarian overlords. They carry the water for the leftist cabal that is destroying the freedom we once had in this country.
To quote Thomas Jefferson, Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God.
I don’t support Biden I despise Biden and I say it in dozens of posts every week.
Now that was simple wasn’t it you named calling fraud?
You don’t support Donald J Trump do you? Until you answer that clearly you should go straight to h***.
“Maybe state media is selling lies again, just like they always do to demonize the other side in a war.”
But Russian state media would never lie! That’s why you can unquestioningly trust what they tell you.
What an imbecilic comparison.
Do you see the childish name calling they indulge in.
These are propagandists.
They called me a Biden supporter, but will write a dozen mocking posts rather than answer if they support Donald Trump.
These people are jerks.
Here,here!!! How can we best deal with them?
Maybe you should focus on your own filthy house before you worry about others. Oh wait. You russophobics like Biden and company.
“You russophobics...”
LOL! Making up words looks silly and desperate when the left does it with stuff like “homophobia” and “transphobia” and it still looks silly and desperate when you do it.
“How much education do you have?”
Enough to know that “freedictionary.com” is not the arbiter of the English language.

Finding 1000 sources that use it won’t make the word any more legitimate than “homophobia” or “transphobia”.
