That’s right. They are being demobilized and disarmed. NATO spend billions of dollars to train 1.2m Ukrainian soldiers at time when the Russia military worldwide was under 380,000 men. Gee, I wonder why Russia wasn’t going to put up with a 1.2m army sitting on its border and threatening them with NATO missile deployment? Only 450,000 left to eliminate, plus anything they can drag out of the basements to the front for cannon fodder.

The Ukrainians were training classes of conscripts, as usual.
They have peacetime conscription.

So does Russia.
Russia was calling up and training 300,000 or so a year, pre-2022. Russian standing forces, all branches, were about 1.3 million in 2021. 900,000 in the Army.

I dont know where you get your stuff but its whack.
