Putin has signed a decree on spring military conscription.
According to the plan, 160,000 people will be drafted (the highest number in 10 years).
Putin promised coscripts wouldn't be sent to war. However, coscripts have been taken captive and found killed in his "special military operation."

Breaking the EU is central goal in MAGA strategy: divide Europe, shape the US as a world power with own sphere of influence. Other powers would be China and Russia.

Here is why Russia desperately needs a break in fighting. And why we are seeing photos of WW2 era vehicles at the front. They are running out of stocks.
... year-on-year growth rate is 3.34 times per year. If current growth continues, in one year's time Ukraine will be destroying 139*3.34 = 464 vehicles per day = 464*365 = at an annual run rate of 169.000 vehicles per year.
