'MASSIVE' Expansion of Putin's Occupation Army in Ukraine's Donbas!

Silicon Bites Ep297 | 2026-03-04 | Russia’s zombie army is growing. Massively – is this just for Ukraine? What does Putin hope to achieve – take the Donbas by throwing away another half million or million lives? Putin signs a new decree raising Russia’s authorized force level to 2,391,770 personnel, including 1,502,640 servicemen. This effectively expands the Russian army to nearly 2.4 million. But this is not the kind of expansion that magically produces battalions, artillery crews, or drone operators – and the result is certainly not complex capabilities for manoeuvre warfare. This is more meat for the cannons – more bodies to fight a 19th century war against 21st century tech. This is the Kremlin governing by fear, coercion and optics. Today: what the decree says, what it doesn’t say, why Ukraine’s commander is warning Russia wants 800,000 troops in the war zone, and what the Russian state is doing when it can’t find volunteers: bigger bonuses, coercion, and recruiting students. ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconc...   / siliconcurtain   https://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up... ---------- SOURCES: RBC-Ukraine (Mar 4, 2026) — Putin decree / army size: https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/russi...
