Allegedly to make up for losses in their war on Ukraine. If they're anything like the old TV series, its probably not going to help much.

"Russia has suffered such heavy losses in Ukraine it is now calling up soldiers who have been retired for up to a decade, according to Western intelligence.

Britain’s Ministry of Defence said on Sunday that Moscow was seeking to "bolster troop numbers with personnel discharged from military service since 2012".
"Russia will likely continue to throw badly damaged and partially reconstituted units piecemeal into offensive operations that make limited gains at great cost," it said.

Russia has suffered thousands of casualties since it invaded Ukraine on February 24 and its spring recruitment drive will not deliver trained soldiers for 12 months."



Ukraine has supporters from some unlikely areas, though including some from the film industry.

Russia already has a severe population decrease. This will not help.

Not sure, but it seems very likely that it would also affect Russia since they're close together - & various other countries in the area.

It would doom him.

Yep, it would. And possibly also the rest of, or many of us. I still think that sooner or later one or more of his top level staff will remove him from office, stick him in prison & either take over or, even better temporarily govern while organising actual democratic elections.

Lucky dreams are free, eh

There wont be democratic elections in a communist dictatorship country, I think the only way will be for someone to take him out but who will be brave enough that is the question?

Is Russia still communist?

plutocracy

Perhaps then a very public 'heart attack' might be for the best.
