I had no idea the war was going on. I thought Russia won the war.
In an effort to avoid further mobilization, Russia has been upping the pay for contract soldiers. I think the rate is triple from a year ago.
The moves have worked to get a lot of bodies, but it has been expensive.
A few months ago,Ukraine finally updated their mobilization laws, and they’ve now been enlisting a lot more bodies themselves. Their manpower issues should be resolved in a few months.
