Russia recruits 35 thousand soldiers every month: what is known about the Kremlin's plans.
According to inkorr.com: As of today, Russia has approximately 280 thousand contractors in its Armed Forces. This number may increase as the Kremlin plans to strengthen its weapon production. According to Vadim Skibitsky, Deputy Chief of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Russia recruits at least 35,000 new military personnel every month.
"Unfortunately, they have the capacity to mobilize, and it is supported financially and through propaganda. Russia recruits at least 35,000 servicemen every month," he noted.
Skibitsky also drew attention to significant payments to contractors, including two million rubles for signing the first contract. Additionally, Russia plans to manufacture new batches of precision missiles of various types, such as "Iskander" and "Kinzhal," as well as increase the production of drones.
Russia has no intention of reducing spending on heavy weapons
A representative of the GUR emphasized that Russia does not plan to reduce spending on heavy equipment and armaments but rather invests more in drones and rockets. He also noted that military intelligence is aware of the plans for the development of the Russian Armed Forces for the next ten years.
"The Russians have outlined the main requirements for heavy weaponry, combat ships, aviation, and missile systems. We know that they will modernize and create new aircraft to develop strategic and long-range aviation," he explained.
Earlier, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, stated that it is disadvantageous for Russia to end hostilities, as peace will only come if "Ukraine becomes part of Russia." He also pointed out the simulation of negotiations aimed at disinformation and accusing Ukraine of violating peace talks.
Thus, Russia plans to actively develop its armed forces, increasing the number of contractors and expanding its weapons production, including missiles and drones. The situation in eastern Ukraine remains tense, and the cost of the war for both sides may be substantial.
