https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/bacce0af-9b46-48cd-bcd0-e0f174fac77d Russia is demanding more than 400,000 new contract soldiers by the end of 2026, but finding enough recruits is becoming increasingly difficult as battlefield losses are on the rise. Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov tried to dismiss fears of another mobilization, but ended up exposing a much bigger problem. He admitted that Russia currently lacks the ability to properly equip, train, and arm a new wave of recruits, while at the same time describing ordinary Russians as "degenerates." On a new episode of Break The Fake, Benjamin Lee examines Solovyov's extraordinary comments, Russia's growing manpower crisis, and why Moscow is demanding hundreds of thousands of new soldiers for a war that its military machine is increasingly struggling to sustain.
