Boyko Nikolov – Bulgarian Military Jan 24, 2025
More than 1,000 people joined the Russian Armed Forces [RAF] daily under contract in 2024, a pace that the Kremlin insists must be sustained into the new year. This was emphasized by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, during a meeting of the interdepartmental commission on staffing the armed forces with contract servicemen.
“Last year, an average of over 1,000 people enlisted in military service daily,” Medvedev stated. “The plan for 2025 has been outlined, and our task is to maintain this pace.”
Medvedev stressed the importance of focusing on supporting those who are actively engaged on the frontlines and veterans returning from combat zones. “This is a shared responsibility of regional leaders,” he said. “Attention to this issue cannot waver.”

According to Medvedev, around 450,000 people signed contracts for military service in 2024, and more than 40,000 Russians volunteered to join special military operations.
The reported numbers reveal more than just a headline-grabbing recruitment success. They speak volumes about Russia’s broader strategy as it maneuvers through an extended and costly military campaign in Ukraine.
Maintaining an average enlistment rate of 1,000 personnel per day requires not only logistical efficiency but also significant resources for training, equipping, and deploying such a force.

This level of mobilization raises critical questions about Russia’s military doctrine and its ability to sustain high levels of manpower without undermining its economic stability.
Analysts suggest that this recruitment drive signals Moscow’s commitment to ensuring numerical superiority on the battlefield, even as it faces significant attrition in its professional forces.
By focusing on contract service rather than conscription, the Kremlin appears to be attempting to project a professionalized, capable force to both domestic and international audiences.
However, such an approach carries risks: the cost of recruiting, training, and sustaining these forces could place an increasing burden on the Russian economy, already strained by sanctions and the ongoing conflict.
While the recruitment numbers are impressive on paper, a closer look at the realities facing the Russian Armed Forces reveals significant challenges. Modernizing an army of this scale is no small feat, especially when reports from the battlefield point to shortages of advanced equipment and logistical bottlenecks.
Russia has showcased cutting-edge military technology in recent years, such as hypersonic missiles and advanced air-defense systems like the S-500.
However, the integration of such systems across an expanded force remains a formidable task. Many of the newly recruited contract soldiers are likely to find themselves operating older equipment, a stark contrast to the modernized image the Kremlin seeks to project.
Moreover, questions arise about the training pipeline. Can Russia’s military academies and training centers handle such a high influx of recruits without compromising on quality?
Reports from the frontlines indicate that many soldiers, particularly those sent to Ukraine, lack the necessary training and coordination to operate effectively in high-intensity combat scenarios. This could erode morale and operational effectiveness, undermining the benefits of such an ambitious recruitment drive.
Medvedev’s comments about supporting frontline troops and veterans highlight a growing concern within Russian society. The human cost of the conflict has been immense, and sustaining such a large-scale recruitment effort inevitably puts additional strain on families and communities.
Veterans returning from the frontlines often face physical and psychological challenges, and the resources available to support them remain insufficient in many regions.
The emphasis on regional leaders’ responsibility to support veterans points to a decentralized approach that may result in uneven outcomes. While some regions may excel in providing resources and care, others might struggle due to financial constraints or lack of political will. This inconsistency could lead to broader dissatisfaction, especially as the war continues to demand sacrifices from ordinary Russians.
On the domestic front, the recruitment drive also serves as a barometer for public sentiment. The willingness of 450,000 individuals to sign contracts indicates a combination of factors, including patriotism, economic incentives, and perhaps coercion in some cases.
As the war progresses, maintaining this level of enthusiasm or compliance will become increasingly challenging, particularly if battlefield losses mount or the economic situation deteriorates further.
The inclusion of over 40,000 volunteers in the 2024 figures highlights another dimension of Russia’s manpower strategy. Volunteer formations have played a critical role in augmenting regular forces, particularly in specialized operations.
However, their integration into the broader military structure raises questions about command cohesion and operational effectiveness. Volunteers often operate with different training, equipment, and organizational standards, which can lead to friction in coordinated operations.
Furthermore, the reliance on volunteers underscores the Kremlin’s ongoing challenge of balancing the needs of the war effort with domestic stability. Volunteer units are often lauded in state media, but their high-profile casualties can also draw public attention to the human cost of the conflict, potentially undermining support for the war.
As Russia enters 2025, the stakes for its military remain high. The recruitment drive of 2024 demonstrates Moscow’s ability to mobilize manpower on an impressive scale, but it also exposes vulnerabilities.
The sustainability of this effort, both in terms of financial cost and societal impact, will be a defining factor in Russia’s military strategy moving forward.
Will the Kremlin’s focus on maintaining recruitment momentum translate into battlefield success, or is it merely a numbers game aimed at masking deeper structural issues within the armed forces?
As Medvedev’s comments suggest, the answer lies not only in the quantity of recruits but in the quality of their training, equipment, and support—both on and off the battlefield.

POTATO FAMINE
The Irish potato famine originated thousands of miles away, study finds
Story by Hanna Geissler • Experts examining old documents have discovered new evidence that the reasons behind what caused the Irish potato famine may have originated thousands of miles away. Jewish food dealers and distributors from across the world made a lot of money The banking family E D Sassoon also made a lot of money importing black folk for the US cotton fields
Meanwhile back here in the sewer called the USA we are feeding our young male population puberty blockers and estrogen laced/infested food products, along side confusing them of their sexual identity via the kikel industries called education, entertainment and medical.
So, tell me: Who would win an all out ground war?
A significant report has exposed supposedly ‘healthy’ grocery store foods and their toxic ingredients.
Researchers have created the largest database of its kind which ranks tens of thousands of products from the jewish supermarket cartels
Target, Sainsburies Tesco Morrisons Walmart and Whole Foods and scores foods out of 100 based on how processed they are and how many calories and sugar they packed. though science hasn’t concluded exactly why, studies suggest the more processed your diet is, the higher the risk of conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
The new database reveals a surprising number of food and drinks which look healthy – such as salads, fruit juices, bags of trail mix, and oatmeal – but scored just as bad, if not worse, than some candy and confectionary. although science hasn’t concluded exactly why, studies suggest the more processed your diet is.
The new database reveals a surprising number of food and drinks which look healthy – such as salads, fruit juices, bags of trail mix, and oatmeal – but scored just as bad, if not worse, than some candy and confectionary.
The salad contains a host of ingredients including sunflower and canola oil, both of which have been linked to a higher risk of colon cancer.
The researchers created the database, which anyone can access online and use to make healthier substitutes, because of there is no easy way for consumers to identify what foods are processed, highly processed, or ultra-processed.
The ‘Z’ patch stands for ZWOG
Nothing like the idiotic concept of ‘nationalism’ for Jews to get the dumb whites to slaughter each other over i.e., Waste Whitey I & II & now the Ukraine-Russia war. Two Yid controlled nations (Ukraine/Russia) sending dumb white males to kill each other off–for not until Amalek (whites) is gone will mongrel moschiach come. The dumb white man, brainwashed with retarded ideas of ‘patriotism’ & ‘nationalism’ can’t perceive its nothing more than race suicide aka ‘Whiteocide’.
The source of this article is from Bulgaria, a NATO member for 21 years. Notice how the meat of the article is focused on Russia’s supposed weaknesses, which the west has harped on from the beginning. Whatever weaknesses Russia has, they PALE in comparison to NATO’s, which has had it ass thoroughly kicked in Ukraine! LOL! Gimme a break!
Nothing’s perfect, but in today’s world, Russia’s military is #1 by far! Anyone care to take them on?? NO! Russia will kick your asses six ways from Sunday! It’ll be like a Super Bowl team playing a high school team!
A staged coordinated ‘war’ between ukraine-russia to waste whites. That’s all its about.
chabad zelensky and chabad putin pretending to be ‘enemies’ so they can waste whitey
its appears this site is pro russian, not realizing both sides are ruled by the same global jew gang
“Russia’s military is #1 by far”
No, china’s is. It’s just that they ain’t using it at the moment, so you don’t notice.
Meanwhile the jew-k is down to 70,000 from 90,000 morons, mostly “migrants” “fighting” for “their country”. I wonder what happens when the jews send them to slaughter their own countrymen?
Some american soldier said the other day that there’s no way he’d step on a battlefield with a queer watching his back. LOL. Under pedo joe he’d have been courtmarshalled. Meanwhile the jew-k pedo show rolls on, pronouns being farted out by every fat ugly gasbag in “government” (ie. all of them).
According to Irlmair the forces that attack Europe from the East are not made up of only Russians, he speaks of forces that look like chinese ..
Hail Russia, Hail Putin, Hail General Armageddon wherever he is lol
‘Shocking numbers: Russian Army gains 450K contract soldiers’.an army of contract builders?’cause the donbass looks better than ever before.they have even built many new projects, ready for sale.and they are going.the only warzone is in your minds.by innuendo of the jews.
