Putin signed a decree to increase the size of the Russian Armed Forces

Kremlin President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree increasing the number of personnel in the Russian Armed Forces to 2,426,130, of which 1,535,000 are military personnel.

This was reported by the Dozhd TV channel with reference to the relevant decree.

According to the document, the staff size of the Russian army has been increased by 25,000 servicemen.

As noted, this decision is related to the creation of military construction units.

By the way, Russia is probably preparing for a new wave of official mobilization and possible introduction of martial law . This is indicated by recent legislative changes and actions of the Russian authorities, which are simultaneously strengthening mechanisms for controlling the population.

Recall that Russia is preparing to conduct a large-scale mobilization in the fall , within the framework of which it plans to call up more than 500 thousand people.

As reported, residents of Moscow and other regions in Russia are massively complaining about the inability to apply for international passports due to the lack of free slots for registration . Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, believes that this may indicate that the Kremlin is preparing for a new wave of mobilization.
