@MrMusic4676 this is simple - there is no mobilization in Russia, so, Russian government didn't have any ability to change the number of its troops. Putin didn't increased Russian army

Putin didn't increased the size of the army. There is no mobilization in Russia, and therefore the Russian state isn't able to change the number of troops. Russia doesn't use conscripts - only contract soldiers fight in Ukraine. After the start of the war, many people from the reserve were offered to sign a military contract and go to Ukraine for solid money. Putin now just legally signed the regular number of troops that have already been assembled. However, it cannot influence the willingness of people to sign a contract.

@petebondurant58 the expansion of NATO is threat to Russia. Also, Ukraine was shelling the Donbass for 8 years since 2014, killing Russians. At now Russia is conducting a peacekeeping operation to protect people of Donbass from Ukraine

No, you are mistaken - it is the people who control the equipment that decide, not the equipment. On June 22, 1941, the USSR had 5 times more tanks and aircraft than Germany. The USSR had much more technologically advanced heavy tanks, which Germany had no analogues. Nevertheless, the Soviet tank forces and aviation were defeated by the Germans with a loss ratio of somewhere around 10 to 1. The Germans, having 5 times fewer tanks, destroyed 10 times more Soviet tanks than the Soviets inflicted losses on the Germans. People decide, not technology.
