Putin signed a decree on a new draft into the Russian army: 261 thousand people in 2026.

According to ТСН: Vladimir Putin signed a decree on the conscription of citizens for military service in 2026.

According to information from propaganda media, it is planned to conscript 261 thousand 'new recruits' next year.

Aggressive Intentions

Putin also held a meeting with military leadership, during which he again expressed his aggressive intentions. Despite statements from Western leaders about a desire for peace, the Russian dictator officially ordered the occupying forces to continue the 'phased capture' of Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions.

This decree and Putin's intentions indicate a continuation of Russia's aggressive policy in Ukraine. It is important to note that such actions only increase tensions in the region and threaten the security not only of Ukraine but also of neighboring countries. The reaction of the international community will not be long in coming, and possible sanctions may be a response to such actions by the Kremlin.
