Number of Russian army recruits in 2023 revealed

Continued growth of the Armed Forces is a started policy goal of the Kremlin. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev revealed on Thursday that somewhere in the region of 410,000 personnel have joined the Russian army this year. Now the deputy chair of the country’s Security Council, he was visiting Alabino military training grounds outside Moscow.

Medvedev inspected troops with the 337th airborne assault regiment, watching the unit in training and holding meetings with its commanders and other senior military officials. During the meeting, Medvedev said that the country’s military has been steadily bolstering its ranks.

“All in all, starting January 1 this year, around 410,000 people signed contracts. The work to bring new servicemen into the ranks will continue next year. The decision was made by the president, and the work, frankly, is going on well,” Medvedev stated.

West has lost billions trying ‘to teach Russia a lesson’ – Lavrov

Sanctions designed to hurt Moscow are destroying the global economy, the foreign minister says. EU businesses have lost at least €250 billion ($266.6 billion) due to the sweeping sanctions imposed on Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Wednesday.

According to the top diplomat, these are “very conservative estimates” of the damage that the West has inflicted on its own businesses over the past year-and-a-half by introducing unilateral sanctions.

Russia-EU trade turnover totaled $200 billion in 2022 and is expected to drop to less than $100 billion by the end of 2023, according to the Foreign Ministry.

The latest ministry estimates show that mutual trade between Russia and EU member states, which totaled $417 billion in 2013, could have reached $700 billion this year were it not for the sanctions.

Ukrainian War Crime - Ukrainian drone drops cluster bombs on Russian town – governor

A Ukrainian unmanned aircraft has dropped cluster munitions on a food plant in Russia’s Kursk Region, Governor Roman Starovoyt reported on Thursday. Images that the official shared online suggest the payload may have been Western-made.

The reported attack took place at a butter-making facility in the town of Sudzha, less than 10km from the Ukrainian border. A total of three cluster bombs were dropped at the location, the governor said, causing some damage but no casualties. One failed to detonate and is being handled by a bomb squad. Ukraine has been using Soviet-made cluster munitions since the hostilities in Donbass started in 2014, according to Human Rights Watch.

Washington justified its decision to arm Kiev with cluster weapons by claiming that the Ukrainian forces had pledged not to use them in populated areas. The US government also argued that the additional contamination would not be relevant, considering that both Russia and Ukraine have been using their own cluster munitions throughout the conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in July that Moscow reserved the right to use its cluster weapons in response to Ukrainian deployments, when he commented on deliveries by the US. He claimed Russian forces had previously refrained from using such weapons even when there was a shortage of other types of munitions.

So you know, Russia used Cluster munitions against Ukraine early on in their war. Russia also used Hyperbaric and White phosphorus weapons as well. Russia of course used them knowing the Ukraine didn't have cluster munitions or Phosphorus weapons in it's inventory. Well, now it does.


Further, the report you site lists contamination by these weapons. If the weapons in question are not Chemical, Biological or Nuclear in nature, I'm wondering what sort of contamination is being referred to.
Now, Russia is crying about the use of Cluster munitions against their people. There is a simple solution to this problem. Go Home !!!!

I see this as a defeat not a win-That Russia has to recruit hundreds of thousands of young men to fight in Ukraine. Every 3rd or 4th month or so.

2. In these wars Ukraine and Israel most of us seems to forgetting all about being critical to what we read and hear.

Take me as an example. I believe allmost everything that comes from Ukraine and not what comes from Russia-I know I should be very critical.

I believe what comes from Ukraine is more correct than what comes from Russia

Bigger numbers win wars.
And Europe still has not brought its acts together regarding a military production boost. If we are not careful, the present will repeat itself in the near future: with then us being the ones getting outproduced and outmanned in military capacities. What there has been in production adaptation in Europe to me so far looks pretty pitiful. Better quality can comensate for inferior numbers only so and so far - and not further. As Ukraine currently realises. It is supeiror in quality of many of its systems, the skills of soldiers using it, and it kills more Russians than Russians kill Ukrainians. Still, Ukraine is outgunned. When Kiev now says its a stalemate, it means they are at the peak of what they were capable of. From here on, they must decline, since Rrussia has more breath. I wonder what miracle weapons Washington will offer next? And btw, Ukraine has at least as many problems to recruit new soldiers, than Russia has due to its self-imposed shyness to declare a general mobilization. But Russia still HAS the option fully mobilize. Ukraine has that option no more. They run out of people to recruit.

I think 2024 will be far more difficult for Ukraine than 2023 was.

Once again he is right. Elsewhere he pointed out that Russian production rates of cruise missiles and other types of weapons now significantly exceed those of pre-war times. Ukrainian industry, badly hit by the attacks on the electricity supply, cannot keep up. Russia has the bigger industrial base, the bigger ressources base, the bigger financial base, and the bigger population base.

Russia-Ukraine war live: Russia intensifying assault on Avdiivka, says Ukraine military

Ukraine’s general staff, in its latest evening report, said its forces had repelled 11 attacks near Avdiivka, 15 in the nearby Maryinka sector and 22 further north-east in Bakhmut, a town seized by Russian in May. Six attacks were repelled further north near Kupiansk, where Russian forces have been active.

Russian troops are intensifying their attacks on the key eastern town of Avdiivka, Ukrainian officers have said. Oleksandr Borodin from the third separate assault brigade said Russian forces were launching major infantry attacks, while trying to keep equipment intact, telling Espreso TV: “It is not just infantry advancing but also parallel work of artillery, drones, aviation, the same air bombing and more.”

Russian forces were shelling “round the clock” but rain-soaked ground was holding them back. “Once the ground dries, they will definitely advance.”

The Kremlin is moving to absorb former Wagner soldiers into Russia’s military structures, the Guardian’s Russian affairs reporter Pjotr Sauer writes.
