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.

Harrumph, said the Little Girl Cruzier in disgust.
In any case, for the future you should ping people when you mention them by name whether you like them or not.
That’s not being a troll; that is calling you out for your absurdities, pulling you back and giving you a chance to support your comment. The entertainment is watching you flap around like a fish out of water.
New, Improved Commie Horde!
With more human waves!
It’s Cocktail hour, no? What’s on tap tonight for you tonight, a pint of Sneaky Pete followed by some Mills Brothers on the Victrola?
You must love CNN and your Biden masters.
Russia has not sent one untrained conscript to the front.
You are ignorant, perhaps, but I suspect also on the dole.
“Russia has not sent one untrained conscript to the front.”
And you know this how? Are you there overseeing their training?
Our own Government is a greater threat to our freedom than Russia.
There you go.
That is untrue and it is anti American.
As well as beside the point.
you say something which is untrue
and then accuse people who disagree with you of being paid.
Which is nuts.
That’s why i don’t respect the Russia shills.
Ack! This thread has some of the worst yip-yappers on it. 😖 LOL
Had he not invaded Ukraine ….
——-
Had the Ukies not attacked, shelled and bombed the Russian Donbass provinces in 2015 (for eight years) AND violated the Minsk Agreements none of this would have occurred…..best to let the regional war work itself out.
Lesson learned: do NOT poke the Bear, or you get the claws.Both sides are corrupted dirty, support neither.
They engage us to get paid.
😂😂😂
Lets hope he stays gone.
You are too funny. Bidenista, accusing others of hurting this country.
Got news for ya pal, this country today sucks!!
We need Trump back, but its probably too late.
The petrodollar is a thing of the past and the reserve dollar slot is probably going to China.
Countries are lined-up around the block to join BRICS, sanctions against Russia barely mattered, and our economy
is teetering.
Meanwhile we sent billions “to Ukraine” and no one has audited it.
Pelosi, Biden, more are laundering those billions and laughing all the way to the bank with their good buddy Crack Cocaine Zelensky.
Now we are holding hands with Blackrock.
I call this a banana republic. Hillary gets nothing for her emails but Trump is continually badgered and searched.
Our elections and probably most of congress are corrupt as heck and care nothing for the homeless, many veterans, freezing and starving on the streets.
Our cities are now miles of tent and box homes with feces everywhere. Crime in those cities has skyrocketed. Gangs raid stores and are never caught or punished.
Illegals are pouring across the southern border like never before and no one in DC cares.
Go ahead and call me anti American. I grew up in a great country but it no longer exists.
Go on over to DU and take your russophobic, power driven, empire worshipping friends along.
Most Freepers don’t want us involved in this war and running NATO. It has not improved one single American life outside of DC.
We could have spent those trillions on US, on Americans,
our failing infrastructure, so many things.
It is in fact, Neocons who are anti American.
Russia will never trust us again.
Not in our lifetimes.
What is worse ——
Despite the US state media lies, Putin is quite loved and championed in the world.
Lavrov speaks at the UN, the postage stamp shotty EU rates get up and walk out..but afterward in the reception room Lactic is swamped with live - from the Saudis, the other arabs, the global south and of course BRICS members.
I’m not reading your verbal diarrhea and you have no credibility calling me a bidenista you’re a jerk and an idiot.
And by the way no, neocons are not anti-American. by definition they resist America’s enemies whether or not you agree they should take such an aggressive policy they are not even remotely anti-American.
The leftist c*** that you are throwing about giving up on our allies and siding with our enemies is pure anti-American.
You must really have a screw loose to think the problem is that dear mother Russia won’t trust the awful United States again. Were you a sixties hippie or are you a generation Z idiot?
It is not anti-American. It is very American to question our government and its actions.
Do you really think we should just roll over and accept everything they do and obey?
87,000 IRS agents?
Forced injections to keep jobs?
Businesses forced to close because of a virus?
Censorship (as has been uncovered on Twitter, among other things?)
White males being marginalized y the government?
Our tax dollars going for ridiculous reparations?
I could go on.
And on.
It is most certainly not anti-American to question our government. To criticize our government.
It appears that you don’t know what defines “American.”
You people haven’t taken it from us yet.
