President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree to increase the number of members of the Russian army by 10 percent. According to a decree signed by Putin, 137,000 soldiers will be recruited into the country's army in the coming months. BBC news.
Currently, Russia has about 1 million military officers and about 900,000 civilian officers. Putin's decree will increase military recruitment in the country. A large amount of cash will be offered to those interested in joining the army.
Western military officials claim that 70,000 to 80,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or injured fighting in Ukraine. On February 24, Russian forces launched an attack on Ukraine under the orders of Putin. It has been six months since the attack last Wednesday.
There have also been reports that the authorities are visiting various prisons to recruit soldiers for the Russian army. Prisoners will be inducted into the army with the offer of release and cash.
Two weeks ago, the UK Ministry of Defense announced that volunteer battalions had been formed in various regions of Russia. The Russian authorities created this battalion for the purpose of creating a new army core. But the number of people joining the volunteer battalion for the Ukraine war is limited. From this it is assumed that it will be difficult for the country to get new soldiers for the army.
When Russia launched its attack on Ukraine last February, it was said to be a special military operation. The Kremlin promised to end the operation in a short time. But their advance stopped in the face of resistance from Ukrainian forces. At present, the frontline fighters of the Russian forces in Ukraine are not able to advance much.
A new decree has recently been published by the Russian President's office. According to it, the number of members of the Russian Armed Forces should be 20,39,758. Among them there will be 11 lakh 50 thousand 628 officials. At present, the military strength of the country is set at 10 lakh 13 thousand 628 people. Before the start of the Ukraine war, this number was thought to be closer to 9 million.
The decree calls for the allocation of funds for the army from the state budget. It will be effective from January 1, 2023. However, it is not clear whether volunteers will be appointed to increase the number of soldiers or the posts will be increased.
Currently, Russian men between the ages of 18 and 27 are called up for military service. Many avoid participating in this year-long program in various ways. Russia has denied forcing troops to go to war in Ukraine. But a number of officials have been punished after revelations that Russian troops were forced to go to war in Ukraine and, in some cases, captured.
