Number of Volunteers Who Wants To Fight Ukraine Is Not Decreasing – Putin Says, Gives Reasons

According to the information gotten from CNN (whilst quoting Russian state-owned news agency TASS); they revealed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced that the number of servicemen mobilised recently in the Russian Federation has reached 318,000 people, despite the previously announced limit of 300,000.

Quote from Putin: “We already have 318,000 (people mobilised – ed.). Why 318,000? Because volunteers are coming. The number of volunteers is not decreasing”.

According to Putin, 49,000 of the 318,000 people have already been sent to the line of contact, and the rest are allegedly “engaged in training”.
