Zelensky Warns of Russia’s Military Increase
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Russia may prepare to conscript around 300,000 additional soldiers after the Russian parliamentary elections in September, aiming to bolster its forces in the war against Ukraine. Ukrainian estimates indicate that Moscow might focus recruitment efforts on rural areas far from major cities, targeting nearly 300,000 soldiers by 2026, with plans to continue increasing troop numbers in 2027. The new forces are primarily being used to support operations in eastern Ukraine, especially in the regions of Kysantynivka, Sloviansk, and Kramatorsk, where Ukraine anticipates Russia will enhance its military capabilities to maintain ongoing pressure on the front lines, amid measures to strengthen its air defenses and fund ballistic missile systems.
