Ukraine's Army Now Larger Than Russia's
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
The article contains conflicting statements from Zelensky:
Comparing the size of Ukraine's armed forces to other EU countries, Zelensky previously said: "The Ukrainian army is the largest in Europe. The second place after us (France) is four times smaller than us. I think the French have about 200,000. We have 980,000."
It was 880k in a previous paragraph.
Either a typo, or that's what he previously said and now he's saying 880k.
Almost certainly a typo. Both the subtitles under the video of Zelenskyy and every other mention of the number all say 880,000
There's this syndicated Jan 6 story that says he said 980k back then.
it’s also okay to misspeak, misremember, etc… we shouldn’t demand absolute perfection from our leaders. this isn’t an exam
It was a pyrrhicgraph.
our 1080k army will crush everything, as 1180k is unbeatable. We also need to start drafting all 18 year olds.
