Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that the Russian army fighting in Ukraine currently comprises 617,000 people.
Source: RBC, citing Putin at a press conference
Details: Putin also said that the contact line is 2,000 km long.
Earlier, answering a question about mobilisation, Putin said that 244,000 people have been mobilised directly to the combat zone.
Background:
- Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the war against Ukraine will end when he has achieved all his goals − the denazification, demilitarisation and neutral status of Ukraine.
- Putin stated that the Kremlin does not plan to announce a second wave of mobilisation. There is apparently no need for one because a sufficient number of volunteers will have been recruited by the end of the year.
