Rep. Lauren Bobert, a member of the US House of Representatives, said the US military is suffering from a shortage of people who want to join its ranks, while Russia is increasing the number of its soldiers.
“Putin signs a decree to increase the size of the Russian Armed Forces by 137,000 people. This comes at a time when we have a conscription problem because our soldiers are not trained for combat capability but for wakefulness,” Pubert tweeted. on Thursday.
The deputy wrote about this in connection with the “Stay Awake” campaign, which aims to raise awareness about equality issues and the fight against racial discrimination in society, including in the army.
This is also happening against the background of the signing by the President of Russia of a decree to increase the number of Russian troops by 137 thousand people to 1 million and 150 thousand people and 628 people.
