Kremlin boss Putin is increasing his army. The number of military is to be increased by 137,000 from next year.
Six months after the invasion of Ukraine, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian army to be enlarged.
As of 2023, the total army strength is expected to exceed two million people, according to a published decree. The number of military personnel alone – including both contract soldiers and conscripts – is to be increased by 137,000 to around 1.15 million.
The remaining members of the military are so-called civilian personnel, i.e. administrative employees, for example. An official reason for the increase was not given.
Russia invaded neighboring Ukraine on February 24. According to the Kremlin, everything is going “according to plan” in the war. However, international military experts acknowledge that Russia is making only sluggish progress and assume that Russian troops will suffer high losses. Moscow itself has not provided any information on the dead and injured in its own ranks for a long time.
