As NBN reports with reference to the official X-profile of the UK Ministry of Defense, the Kremlin's intentions to strengthen its armed forces are “justified”, but such actions will soon encounter difficulties.
In particular, the other day, on September 16, the Kremlin tyrant Vladimir Putin signed a decree regarding an increase in the size of the army by 180,000 people (up to 1.5 million), starting from December of this year. This document is the third identical resolution approved by the Kremlin, taking into account the period since the beginning of the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine in February 2022.
According to analysts of British military intelligence, the terrorist state, judging by everything, will increase not only the quantitative composition, but also the number of units of its ground forces in order to accommodate these “additional 180,000 military personnel.”
The UK Ministry of Defense emphasized the reasons for Putin's actions described above:
Despite the stated intention to expand its forces, these ambitions are likely to be affected by heavy losses during the conflict against Ukraine and problems with recruitment.
