Russia has added over 230,000 new personnel to its army this year, according to Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council.

Medvedev, overseeing Russia’s domestic military production, stated that factories are working round the clock to supply the army. In July, he proposed that assets seized from criminals should be handed over to the military, including high-speed boats and cars.
