Journalists claim that the Kremlin's higher management is increasingly militizing society, which is why Russia to increase its army to 3 million people. The German government believes that Russian President Vladimir Putin has significant reserves in terms of the number of soldiers. Taking into account the last decrees on mobilization and raising the conscript age in Russia, the Kremlin will be able to wage the invading war for another 2-3 years.

About it reports Bild, with reference to unnamed sources. The interlocutors of the publication noted that in order to compensate for the great losses of the Russian army in Ukraine, Putin has already issued a decree on partial mobilization in the fall of 300,000 reservists. "However, this hasty mobilization was considered more as an urgent event to stop the promotion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The Ukrainian troops have achieved considerable success in Kharkiv and Kherson regions and caused heavy losses to the Russian invaders," the publication said. According to sources, in order to prevent the collapse of the front in the south and east, the military leadership of the Russian Federation required numerous reserve units. In fact, the invasion forces were able to stabilize the front and create large defensive positions.

The publication emphasizes that the Russian army can now use more than two million reservists, as the age -old qualification is increased, so in the future the Kremlin will be able to withdraw from the reserve of men under 40 years, and officers can be recalled to the service in the armed forces up to 70 years in different years Gradation.

"Although this resolution is aimed at reservists, it draws attention to the increase in the conscript age to 30 years, as Russia can increase the number of current soldiers to three million if the course of war in Ukraine makes it necessary, so Moscow is ready to fight for two or three years,"- The interlocutors of the publication tell.

It is noted that in this case, there will be more active soldiers in the Russian army than in the Armed Forces of China, but the level of training of many of these soldiers is probably not very high, in addition to the mass problems of the Russian armed forces with their equipment. Nevertheless, sources in the German government warn against the underestimation of such militarization of Russian society.
