The decree comes into force on December 1, 2024. Thus, the total staff of the Russian Armed Forces has increased by 180 thousand people.
It is noted that the last time the staffing level was increased in December 2023, it amounted to 2,209,130 people, including 1,320,000 military personnel. At the time, this was explained by the growing threats from NATO and the continuation of the war with Ukraine.
