Putin Seen Calling on Reserves of 'At Least 2 Million'

RUSSIA

These units will undergo additional military training before heading to the Russian-occupied territories ahead of touted referendums later this month on their intention to break away from Ukraine formally.
  • On numbers and size of Russia's reserves, the International Institute for Strategic Studies estimate that there are at least 2 million reserve personnel and 20 million former military personnel, 10% of whom have seen active service within the last five years. Russia are estimated to have had 900,000 active service personnel at the start of 2022.
