The increase in number, expected to take effect on January 1st, would send the number of military personnel to 1.15 million.
The decree of the Russian president- published on the government's legislative page- does not provide details on how this number will be reached.
The Kremlin has denied claims of extensive mobilization, saying only military contract volunteers can participate in what it calls “special military operation” in Ukraine.
Moscow has not published figures about the losses since the first weeks of the conflict, when it said 1,351 soldiers were killed.
On the other hand, Ukraine says it has so far killed 45 thousand Russian troops since February 24th, the day Vladimir Putin's forces invaded Ukraine. /Periscopi/
