@brewsterly2927 There are more than 300,000 regular fully trained professional army troops all around Russia who will be reinforcements and the conscripted will replace these, there may be some exception where highly skilled troops are sent to the front where needed. Doesn't seem to be the case when there are more than a few reports of recruits getting little to no training and are being sent to Ukraine already. If Russia actually had 300,000 'fully trained' professional army troops in reserve they would've sent a portion or all of them in long ago to stop the Ukrainian advances that are taking back alot of territory. Makes no sense to have such a large reserve and not have them in Ukraine already unless such a 'fully trained' reserve doesn't exist which is why they're just pushing bodies to the frontlines in the hopes that they can help stop the bleeding and loss of territory.

@P. Cameron Whatever drugs you're taking you need to stop dude. Seriously if you cared about facts you wouldn't be saying delusional things like that.

If the Russians only wanted those 4 regions then why aren't they stopping the Ukrainians from taking back territory in those regions even as they declare those areas to be now Russian territories?

@Lomnjac007 Prove that bullshit that there are such reports? Even if it were some cases, what retraining does a medic need, or a spoter, or a scout, or a policeman... What crucial knowledge could they lost in 2-5-7yrs out of service that could not be refreshed in 1-2 weeks and not need a retraining of at least 2 months? The thing is many of the people who are now being called up for service are not medics or police or people with other skills. They're regular guys who were called to join the Russian forces and if their lucky they will receive at least some training before they head to Ukraine and if not then they'll get transported to Ukraine front and get thrown to the wolves. Who knows how widespread it is, but its clearly happening when we've seen videos of guys who have been called up who aren't soldiers who say that they're going to head to Ukraine in a week or two. Whether or not you believe this, we will see in a few weeks when new Russian troops start heading to the front and we can see how they perform. If they fight well then it means the Russians still have reserves of trained soldiers to fight with or they are able to train new guys to be at least decent enough soldiers. If they fight poorly then we will know the Russians aren't training their new troops well enough or that they don't have many trained troops that they can send to the front. With the Ukrainians maybe in the beginning they were desperate to get men into the fight to defend against the invasion even if they weren't well trained, but now they have time to send their volunteers to NATO countries to have them be properly trained and equipped before they return to Ukraine and be ready for battle. This is why they're able to now launch major offensives and to keep the attack going when pro-Russian hacks like the Duran were sure that the Ukraine offensive would be stopped and be counterattacked by the Russians and regain all the ground that they lost.

@QualityPen Most Russian troops are held in reserve to be ready to respond to anything NATO tries. You have to be kidding me. No NATO country will ever attack Russia unless they were attacked first. If Russia really wanted to have better relations with the west they could easily have it by simply not attacking other countries or threatening them with military force.

@agricolaurbanus6209 1. These recruits are not "sent to Ukraine immediately". They are sent to training grounds in LDPR, which are sovereign states from russian legal perspective. There are videos of at least some new recruits that have said that they will be sent to Ukraine to fight shortly so they're definitely not being trained well before being sent to the frontlines. Also many recruits aren't even getting properly equipped. Who knows maybe many of them will be sent to do behind the lines work or something I guess we'll see. 2. Russia is not technically at war with Ukraine. The SMO is legally an operation to assist allied states that are under attack by Ukraine. There are legal restraints about how and how many troops can be deployed in that case. Doesn't matter what Russia calls this invasion, they still went in hard at the beginning and it was definitely mostly if not all Russian soldiers leading the way. Go back through all the videos and data in the first few weeks of the war and tell me where did you hear Donbas militia units doing any significant amounts of fighting on the offense? The answer is relatively little. Didn't ever hear about militia units fighting on the Kiev front or in the south. Only time I started hearing about them more is when the actual Donbas offensive began. 3. You can't just, from a strategic viewpoint, strip all russian military districts from 300k personnel. You have to keep all districts functional. Because there are other possible vectors of enemy attacks, or areas where Russia must be ready to engage. For example Armenia, Kasachstan, Georgia. Russia has obligations from mutual collective defense agreements with other countries. I agree. Russia is a big country that needs forces all over to keep the country secure which is why the narrative that Russia is fighting not with all their full potential to be only partially true. They brought probably as much of their forces to attack Ukraine without taking too many forces from other parts of their country and without mobilization and when that failed they're now reduced to doing what they're doing now which is mobilizing within Russia, hiring more mercenaries and recruiting as much militia as they can in the Donbas and elsewhere. All these people who claim Russian forces having taken significant casualties are lying to themselves otherwise they wouldn't be taking these drastic measures to get more men into the fight like they are right now. Also its questionable as to how effective these new callups will be when they will likely be receiving basic training at best and likely not be very well equipped before being sent to Ukraine. On the otherhand more time is allowing new Ukrainian recruits to spend more time being trained by NATO instructors and be properly equipped by them. I've seen so many videos these days of Ukrainian troops and most seem to be decently if not very well equipped compared to the Russians and militia they're fighting.

If the Ukrainians can continually attack in places where the Russians are absent then they must have very good intelligence that allows them to attack Russian weakpoints and take back alot of territory for relative little loss. Meanwhile all the land that took much of the war for the Russians to take with so many losses is now being given back with relative little resistance.
