According to the latest media reports, the Russian army in Ukraine is now 15% larger than when the invasion began in February 2022. This significant increase in military strength will cause problems for Ukrainian soldiers at the front.
Business Insider writes about this.
A statement from US Army General Christopher Cavoli confirms this fact, noting that over the past year *Russia has increased the number of its front-line troops from 360,000 to 470,000. This increase is due to the increase in the draft age from 27 to 30, which has increased the number of available troops 2 million recruits in the coming years.
Such trends indicate that Russia is on its way to becoming the country with the largest army on the continent. This creates new challenges and threats to the security of Europe and its allies, including NATO countries.
Decreased U.S. support for military assistance to Ukraine could backfire, strengthening Russia’s position and jeopardizing regional stability. The warnings from both General Cavoli and Under Secretary of State Kurt Campbell signal the need for close monitoring and action by the international community to prevent further escalation of the conflict and ensure peace and security.
