Russian army will be bigger than India: About 2 lakh soldiers will be recruited, Putin gave the order for the third time in 2 years

Russia is once again going to increase its army. According to CNN, President Putin has ordered to increase the number of troops on Monday.

According to the order, 1.80 lakh soldiers will be recruited in the Russian army. This will increase the total number of military personnel in the Russian army to around 23.8 lakh. The number of active soldiers in this will be 15 lakh.

According to the Kremlin, the new recruitment will take place in December. Currently, China, India and the US are ahead of Russia in terms of active soldiers. After the new recruitment, Russia will come second in terms of active military personnel.

According to the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS), China has about 20 lakh active military personnel. Whereas, India has about 14 lakh active military personnel and America has 13 lakh active military personnel.

The size of the Russian army will increase for the third time in 25 months This is the third time Putin has increased the size of the army since the start of the Ukraine war in February 2022.

Putin ordered an increase of 1.37 lakh soldiers in August 2022. This increased the total number of soldiers in the Russian army to more than 20 lakh. It had 11.5 lakh active soldiers.

After this, 1.70 lakh more soldiers were added to the Russian army in December 2022. This made the total active army 13.2 lakh.

Russia lost land for the first time in 80 years According to the report, Putin’s order to increase the number of troops is also important because last month Ukrainian troops entered Russia’s Kursk region. Ukraine occupied about 1,175 square km of Russia’s territory. This was the first time since the Second World War that Russia lost so much land.

However, now Russia has intensified its efforts to regain its land. According to reports, last week there were clashes between Russian and Ukrainian forces in several areas of Kursk. Meanwhile, Russia has intensified its efforts to capture the important Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk in the eastern Donbass region.

Zelensky seeks permission to use long-range missiles Ukrainian President Zelensky has once again sought permission from his allies to attack Russia’s strategic targets. Zelensky has said that this can be resolved only by destroying Russia’s military targets with long-range missiles.

According to reports, till last week America and Britain had decided to give long range missiles to Ukraine, but after Putin’s warning they changed their mind.

In fact, Putin had threatened Western countries that if Ukraine was allowed to use long-range missiles, the consequences would be very bad.

Putin had said that if Russia is attacked with long-range missiles, it will be considered that NATO is directly involved in this war. After Putin’s warning, the White House had to issue a statement. In this statement, it was said that at present no decision has been taken on supplying long-range missiles to Ukraine.
