Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine's army is larger than Russia's, but will it be enough to sustain the war effort as fighting escalates?

U Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed that Kyiv’s army is now larger than Moscow’s during a joint press conference with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Wednesday. He said that Ukraine’s military now has 880,000 soldiers, while Russia’s forces are comprised of 600,000 troops.

    Every single Russian soldier currently in Ukraine has signed some paper consenting to be there. (Whether that signature was really voluntary is another question).

    Russia has compulsory conscription twice a year for ages 18-30. There have been plenty of conscripts fighting in Ukraine, I think you are being confused about the mobilizations which are needed because they can legally only conscript so many people at certain times of the year.
