LONDON, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Russia will draft 300,000 reservists to support its military campaign in Ukraine, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Wednesday in televised remarks.

In Moscow's first update on casualty numbers in almost six months, Shoigu said 5,937 Russian soldiers had been killed since the start of the conflict.

President Vladimir Putin had ordered Russia's first mobilisation since World War Two in an early-morning television address, saying the additional manpower was needed to win a war against not only Ukraine but also its Western backers. read more

But, the neocons here were posting articles as late as yesterday claiming Russia was running out of reservists.

Of course, before that, we've heard every other week since March that Russia was running ammunition and weapons.

Could it be that the Biden regime, traitorous General Milley and woke Defense Secretary Austin have been lying all along?

6,000?
Then it’s really 60,000......................

But, the neocons here were posting articles as late as yesterday claiming Russia was running out of reservists.

Neocons... huh?

You choose to believe Putin. You choose to believe that Russia has only lost 6,000 personnel. You choose to believe that the reservists will somehow save Russia from the military debacle that Putin is suffering at the hands of Ukraine and with the support of Ukraine's friends/allies.

You are nothing more than an apologist for Putin.

[ought-six]

I don’t recall anyone saying Russia was running out of RESERVISTS. I think everyone knows Russia has a whole slew of bodies “in the wings.”

Stop beclowning yourself with your wild claims and hysterical posts.

[lump in the melting pot]

Why do they need 300,000 to replace 6,000? Also, (and totally by coincidene I’m sure), AvtoVAZ just announced they will be making 300,000 Ladas next year. You know, that cute little russian car without airbags or seatbelts, which a grieving family gets as compensation when their conscript son gets shipped home cargo 200.

6,000? Then it’s really 60,000......................

Putin wouldn't be calling up 300,000 reservists if the losses were only 60,000. No doubt, it's way over 100,000 and Putin is getting desperate, even to the point of using nuclear weapons again.

[navysealdad]

Rusia has said 5,937 Russian soldiers have died, how many soldiers has Ukraine said they have loss??

[Kazan]

No, just the opposite. The Russians are far, far more accurate the Biden regime, which isn't even bothering to verify the claims of Ukrainians.

The Biden regime lies about everything else. It's time for you to tell us why you believe it about this war?

[Kazan]

We have Biden doing the bidding of globalists like George Soros and WEF and you believe every lie.

There is nothing remotely conservative, patriotic or American First about that.

“Those who forget their history are condemned to repeat it.”

Might want to review “Project 100,000, also known as McNamara’s 100,000, McNamara’s Folly, McNamara’s Morons, and McNamara’s Misfits”

And how much training/conditioning will they receive?
Still, using the same old equipment, nothing updated?
The last group was lacking in proper gear, winter is coming and armored vehicles are cold-blooded beasts.

Maby the Russians plan a quick takeover, no need for winter gear.

But they will be ready for action next week.

[Theoria]

Does Russia have the logistics down to handle this, especially heading into winter? This seems to amplify part of their military deficits of late; maintenance, logistics, command and control, etc.

[laplata]

If Russia goes nuclear, there go the midterms, and the Dims won’t need to worry about losing.

[Always A Marine]

I find it interesting that Putin, Lavrov and Shoigu can and do reply to tough questions with lengthy, detailed and coherent answers without notes or teleprompters. By contrast, Biden, Blinken and Austin reply to softball questions with vague prepared answers. It’s also interesting that Russians have free access to American media, while Americans block access to Russian sources. It makes one wonder which side has something to hide in Ukraine, and which might be uncovering it. Someone isn’t telling the truth. Time will tell...

[entropy12]

Neocons will be neocons for ever. It is incurable disease.

[entropy12]

Shhhhhhhhush....you will rile up Zelensky fans.

[DannyTN]

I’ve read that Russia is cremating the bodies of dead soldiers or burying them in mass graves in Ukraine.

Will Russia actually report the truth to parents or pretend their son went AWOL to avoid having to pay anything?

[entropy12]

Isn’t that the plan of Biden admin, Pelosi, Schumer, Gen Milley and the rest?

[Boogieman]

If they say 6,000, we have to assume the real number is at least four times that.

[MarMema]

We see you as a fan of Biden and the globalist west.

Why is it ok for Biden to destroy us while he raves about empire and a new world order?

I do absolutely v believe Putin and even Xi over the complete liars and morons in the White House right now.
There is no debacle unless you believe western media, same scum that tried to destroy Trump.

You choose to believe Biden??? 😂😂😂😂😂

[Boogieman]

“But, the neocons here were posting articles as late as yesterday claiming Russia was running out of reservists.”

Yeah, because a country calls up a mobilization, 6 months into a war, because they are doing just fine and not bleeding out from attrition.
