Video Summary

Vladimir Putin has announced an 180,000-strong increase in the size of the Russian army, a 10% boost to the existing 2 million-strong force. This is the third expansion of the military since Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine. However, the question is, where is Putin going to find these additional soldiers? The answer lies in the high number of civilian workers and non-combat troops that are included in the overall number. Of the 2 million, only 1.5 million are actual uniformed troops, the rest being civilian workers.

The decision to increase the military comes after Ukraine launched a successful counteroffensive, leading to significant losses for Russia. The Ukrainian intelligence directorate estimates that Russia may need to achieve a victory in Ukraine by 2026, or risk facing significant economic and force generation constraints. Russia is facing a demographic crisis, with a low fertility rate and a high mortality rate due to the war.

Putin’s military is also facing the challenge of attracting new recruits, with a decline in the number of young men signing up for military service. The Russian government has had to increase signing bonuses to attract volunteers, with at least 36 Russian states offering payments of over 1 million Rubles. However, this comes at a significant cost to the Russian State, which may not have the financial resources to sustain the war. The Russian economy is also facing a shortage of workers, with a decline in the number of able-bodied men available to contribute to the economy. This has the potential to lead to a shortage of workers, which could further exacerbate the economic situation.
