Russia is boosting its army size to 1.5 million active soldiers due to “threats” along its borders, including hostility in the West, the Kremlin said Tuesday. President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on Monday boosting the number of active Russian troops by 180,000 to 1.5 million, making the Russian army the second largest in the world by active troop size, according to Russian media.

Funny. Last time I checked Russian is the criminal aggressor that other countries are protecting themselves from an attack. Typical Russian propaganda.
@merlin7766
No Russia is expanding its Army due to massive losses and its failure to invade a sovereign nation. Russia is under threat due to its aggressive military action against a peaceful neighbour.
@jaredhotopp1976

@chrismeese3666
Why does Putin want to kill more young Russians? Because he played poker and now can’t stop. Unfortunately he is playing with thousands of lives plus the possibility of the Russian economy collapsing. Putin Will eventually have to start printing billions of worthless roubles that will only buy Russia products. How sad that for a few power greedy corrupt leaders.
@PaulCanoy-q6y
Ukraine must be returned to Russian Federation….. Russia is a great country with a great leader…

Russia : Attacks a sovereign country, killing thousands and illegally annexing territories.
Also Russia : "We are being threatened here 🤡!!".
@Av3ng3d77x
Sadly no one is talking about this propaganda channel 😂😂
@nicocrestmere9688
US lost 2500 troops in 20yrs of Afghanistan. Russia is losing an average of 1000 a day. But sure, Russia can rival NATO 🙄
@Elijah-qu6tt
Putin be like Saddam when he invaded iran and becone the 4th largest army in the world, but when it in came contact with the yanks at Kuwait, it fell apart with 250:1 death ratio.😂😂
@genes.3285
One thing that people don't understand is that even with decreased resistance by the Ukrainians the Russians must proceed slowly and methodically due to the presence of land mines, booby traps and drones.
@AbeSimpson-p2i
I see brainwashing and propaganda still well alive in Russia
@Adam-u8u6c
The White 🇺🇲 House has a problem :
Ambiguity on Good vs. Evil
@TheRealBillBob
Ukraine says Russia lost 600,000 troops. Zelensky says Ukraine only lost 30,000. Once a comedian always a comedian. 🙄🙄🤡🤡
@nakhan4132
West has pushed world to the edge. Europe, middle east, Asia, Africa where you are involve you have destroyed world peace. Your hypocrisy towards Palestine has changed the world
@FinetTwo
To understand what the mistake of the USSR and the Russian Federation is, we need to compare how it is in healthy countries, for example America and Canada, why are they not in a state of emergency or war among themselves? because in countries like these there is no threat that someone from them wants to harm us. That America, for example, will not steal something from Canada. And why is there a threat in the USSR and the Russian Federation that America and other countries will harm you. Or will NATO rob the Russian Federation? they allegedly had and are about to steal something from the USSR and the Russian Federation. This is a mistake in thinking. It is enough to have healthy relationships, do not terrorize, do not intimidate and do not attack. Give other countries good conditions so that they do not want to change anything, give them a sense of security and prosperity. and what did the USSR and the Russian Federation do? It creates such conditions that countries such as Chechnya, Afghanistan, Georgia, Ukraine want to separate from them, because the Russian Federation creates very bad conditions for them. For example, America creates good conditions for Canada and Canada for America. the problem is in the minds of certain Russians. So Vladimir Lenin's idea and execution were only wrong and these mistakes were continued by Joseph Stalin, today Vladimir Putin… That's the point. The problem is in thinking and perceiving reality. A person should work with his head, with his thinking. It's a pity that Vladimir Lenin didn't work with his thoughts. We still have these mistakes today in this war. U079
@mzwandilemakhubu5617
It's propaganda muscle… 🤣🚮. Why don't u talk about the west African nations that France has been exploiting.
@cliffchurchill9426
There is no threats to Russia, they need to increase army size to compensate for their heavy losses, due their invasion of another country – Ukraine. Russia are the biggest threat to everyone else.
@markdemasseur

@natalieturko4808

@alundavies1016
Are they boosting the army, or are they just keeping up with the attrition of their army?
@Luiz-w5s
If Russia lost 600k troops and it is Ukraine that has shortage of manpower, how many troops has Ukraine lost then?
