REUTERSPIX: Russia's former president and Security Council chairman Dmitry Medvedev said Sunday that Moscow had recruited some 280,000 people into the army since the start of the year.
“According to data from the ministry of defence, 280,000 people have joined the Russian army on contracts from January 1,“ Medvedev said, according to the TASS news agency. In early August, Medvedev said the army had recruited around 230,000 people since the start of the year.Since the spring, the Russian army has led a huge publicity campaign to recruit volunteers, with mass advertisements online and in Russian streets.In September last year, the Kremlin made a U-turn on promises not to announce a military draft, announcing a partial call-up to make up for losses on the Ukrainian front that led to the recruitment of 300,000 men.
