Her en artikel der beskriver de kæmpe demografisk udfordringer Rusland her ved at skulle udvide hæren frem til 2026 som planlagt:
Consequently, the planned increase for personnel in the Russian Armed Forces seems to be impossible within the current demographic, economic and even political circumstances. The threshold of 695,000 contracted soldiers by 2027 means that one in ten Russian men between the ages of 21 and 30 could be called up to active service at any moment. In truth, this increase would only be possible if Russia was a truly democratic federation facing an existential foreign threat. Another option would be if Russia drafted young women together with men and those women signed formal service contracts—though, given the domestic demographic problems, this option looks even more impossible in Russia. As a result, the Russian Ministry of Defense may believe that it can close the gap by recruiting young migrants from Central Asia in exchange for Russian citizenship, which adds another dimension to Russia’s growing desperation in the face of declining demographics at home and manpower shortages in Ukraine.

1/10 russisk mænd mellem 21-30 på kontrakt i hæren og klar til kamp hele tiden, virker ikke som en fornuftig disposition i fredstid, nærmere noget der vil dræne den i forvejen presset russisk økonomi.
Samtidigt har Ukraine med et modangreb angiveligt tilbageerobret hvad russerne ellers havde brugt omkring en måned på at tager ved Vuhledar. Og ødelagt endnu et Termobarisk våben, nu 5 bekræftet ødelagte TOS-1A.
