Russian Security Council deputy chairman Dmitry Medvedev said on Friday that 422,704 people had signed contracts with the Russian Armed Forces last year, state news agencies reported.
The number of sign-ups is lower than in 2024, when about 450,000 people signed contracts to join the Russian army.
Medvedev, a former Russian president, was speaking at a meeting of fellow security officials about drone technology in video shared by Russian news agencies.
President Vladimir Putin said in his end-of-year news conference in December that recruitment among drone operators was particularly strong in 2025.
Some 32,000 people had also joined volunteer brigades and gone off to fight in Ukraine last year, Medvedev added on Friday, according to news agencies.

The only reason jew owned “reuters” reports such things is to fwighten the goyim.
Russia is the largest country on earth, so it has one of the largest armies. That army isn’t occupying itself solely in the jewkraine. Only a small part of it is there (20% according to “experts”). As the army is large, a lot of people retire every year and are replaced. Microshit probably “recruits” more “cyber soldiers” every year to fight the yid fight on the intershit. Putin isn’t occupying himself with the jewkraine either. He must spend 90% of his time fiddling with other bits of the country. The whole “russia is breathing down our necks” thing is yid BS so you let them rob you blind and rape your children.
Western politicians have created the opposite of what’s worth defending. If they start conscription they’ll get a few to join the ranks for sure, but they’ll have to win a war on their own streets first against their own people before they could take war abroad. Even then plenty will still refuse to fight by warning “my gun will not be pointing the way you want it to when I start firing it.”
They can change the name of conscientious objector to conscious objector.
