This is what happened on August 25, local time, and it was more than three months from New Year's Day in 2023.

As we all know, the Russian -Ukraine conflict has not come to an end, and the war is continuing. Is the Russian army increasing the formulars? Is it related to this? Is Russia ready to come to a long -lasting battle in Ukraine?

At the beginning of the Russian and Ukraine conflict, when the Russian army entered Ukraine for "special military operations", the Russian side had stated that the compulsory soldiers were not in this levy.

Since then, there are compulsory soldiers in the Russian forces fighting in Ukraine. Related reports also named the surname. To this end, the Russian side came forward from Minister of Defense, Shi Yigu, and once again stated that the Russian troops entering Ukraine are not allowed to have compulsory soldiers at the current stage. At the same time, they also announced a investigation. Essence

Why don't Russia allow compulsory soldiers to enter Ukraine to participate in "special military operations"? From the perspective of Uncle Hai, there are three main reasons--

First, from the beginning of the conflict, the Russian army said that this was a "special military operation." Regardless of the flashing of Kyiv, the island of Snake Island, occupying Mali Upol, etc., it is not the case. Since it is "special military operations": Russia has not declared war on Ukraine. It is not a comprehensive war. There is no national mobilization, and even the compulsory soldiers do not advocate to fight Ukraine. In general, Russia wants to control the war within a certain scale. This is why Russia has negotiated with Wu Zhanda's many negotiations from the beginning of the conflict.

The second is that after the start of the "Special Military Operations", Russia used special forces, airborne troops and other troops, as well as small -scale battalions -level operations units after military reform. For example, the so -called group army group did not look like the Soviets of the Soviets during World War II. The so -called reorganized "Group Army" in Ukraine today is a lot of people. In fact, the Russian army entering Ukraine has never exceeded 200,000. Such a scale of troops makes the Russian army unnecessary to make compulsory soldiers with a short service period and relatively high military literacy.

Third, this is just as Russia did not break the local Internet during the battle against Ukraine, so that the world felt that the Russian army did not want to settle Ukraine to death. In the network of webcasting, Russia wants to show that the Russian army is a "division of civilization." At the same time, Uncle Hai noticed that the firepower of Russian media was fully opened, and various short videos interviewed residents such as Undaton Bas and other places to accuse the Ukraine, especially the atrocities of the "Asia Camp" in the past eight years. And Russia does not use compulsory soldiers, and it also means to inform the world -the Russian army just wants to let Ukraine "de -military" and "de -Nazi", so they don't want to work too hard to complete the operation.

Unconsciously, Russia and Ukraine have conflicts for more than half a year. Russia does not seem to usher in the imagination that may be able to win very quickly. On the contrary, Ukraine, even when the actual control of some areas of Donalda, Ukraine counterattacked and used various means to lead the war to Crimea and other places that was controlled by Russia as early as 2014.

Ukrainian President Zelezi also said that he would recover the loss of land including Crimea, and hoped that NATO's garrison in Crimea would deter Russia in the future.

On August 23, Zeleianzki attended the press conference after attending the "Crimea Platform" summit

"This is the biggest counterattack step!" Sallezki said.

Is this a dream of dreaming? It's really hard to say. At least, Zelei Sky said so, letting his supporters at home and abroad see his determination. No, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who is about to step down, ran to Kyiv, and sent it to his last military aid order to Ukraine. The Biden authorities in the United States also continued to reinforce Ukraine and even sent offensive missiles.

Under such circumstances, Russia is naturally reflection--

Relying on the existing combat methods, can the Russian army defeat Ukraine in a short period of time, maintain their own safety space, and refuse NATO at their doorstep? If you can't do it, you must think of change.

Looking at the decree signed by Putin, according to the content announced by the Russian State Duma (Parliament), the Russian army will add 137,000 combatants on January 1, 2023, and the total number of Russian combatants will reach 1.15 million.

Russian combatants have increased for the first time since 2017

The outside world noticed that Putin's last adjustment of the Russian army was in November 2017. At that time, the total number of Russian army was 1.9 million, of which more than 1.01 million combatants. In other words, the number of Russian combatants has increased for the first time since November 2017.

Although the decree did not explain how to expand the army, the decree indicated that the Russian government allocated the corresponding budget.

Is Russia's troops conflicting with Russia and Ukraine? In Uncle Hai's view, it is really related, but it may not be directly related. During the Russian and Ukraine conflict, Russia mobilized troops including many places including the Far East to fight in Ukraine. However, data also showed that Russia did not mobilize the so -called elite troops from Moscow, St. Petersburg and other places. Why is this? Obviously, on the one hand, Russia's senior management hopes that the war can end within a controllable range, and on the other hand, it does not want a great sacrifice.

Putin

But with the progress of the war, Putin certainly has to adjust its strategy.Regardless of whether the compulsory soldiers will enter Ukraine in the future, Russia will face the problem of shortage of troops after the war starts.For example, after the Far Eastern troops joined Ukraine, the border guards decreased sharply.I am afraid that security issues in China are not prominent for the time being, and Russia must strengthen prevention for Russia, which can strengthen prevention.

As Sweden and Finland joined NATO, on the Baltic coast, including the "Flying" Kalinrad, Russia also had to set defense.

In this way, Bingyuan always seemed to be stretched.Russia's expansion is to some extent to cope with these issues.
