With this new increase, Russia’s military personnel will reach 2.4 million, including 1.5 million soldiers. The latest expansion follows Ukraine’s attack on Russia’s border in the Kursk region last month.

In August 2022, Putin ordered the addition of 137,000 soldiers, bringing the total to 1.15 million at the time.

By December 2023, he mandated another 170,000 soldiers, raising the number to over 1.32 million.
