A Ukrainian army proposal to conscript up to 500,000 more civilians has produced mixed feelings in Kyiv, with many people saying more troops are needed to fight Russia but some suggesting it is pointless unless they get more weapons.
A Ukrainian army proposal to conscript up to 500,000 more civilians has produced mixed feelings in Kyiv, with many people saying more troops are needed to fight Russia but some suggesting it is pointless unless they get more weapons.
87 percent of the troops committed at the start of the invasion. After the cluster fuck became apparent the Orcs did a partial mobilization of primarily the undesirables (ethic minorities) and they have been emptying out their prison systems Putin himself indicated that currently around 600k troops are involved in the conflict. If you do the math on all the numbers the Kremlin has been throwing out over the past year, the 300k Russian casualties that western analysts where reporting seems to be correct.
The highest commander of the Ukranian army has been open that he needs more troops and that the military needs to innovate as the old doctrines are no longer viable.
The Orcs just use penal battalions of people that cost their society money and instead of imprisonment they use them to soak up bullets and bombs for the regular troops. Preventing casualties under trained soldiers and getting rid of undesirables. The DPR and LPR serve a similar role.
