Putin signs order to increase Russian military in manpower

The size of the Russian military is set to increase to 1.15 million troops next year, in line with a decree that President Vladimir Putin signed on Thursday. The document, published on the government’s website, adds 137,000 to the ranks of the Armed Forces from January 1, 2023.  It also instructs the cabinet to allocate the necessary funds for the expansion. The move comes amid the Russian military operation in Ukraine, launched in late February.
