Shoigu said that Russia will conscript 300 000 reservists for the war against Ukraine.
“These will be Russians with combat experience and a military specialty. Students will not be conscripted, and conscripts will not be sent to war,“ Shoigu noted.
Shoigu asserted that “70 military and 200+ civilian satellites and the entire NATO alliance is engaged in the war, working for the Ukrainian government and aiding in the fight against Russia.”
He claimed that Ukrainian army has lost over half of its soldiers and Russia has lost only 5,937 personnel so far.
On the other hand, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that the Russian forces have lost 55,110 soldiers since the aggression began. (ILKHA)
