Warning from Russia: Moscow wants to create “two new armies” – but probably not for the Ukraine war. Russia is probably reacting to NATO expansion: John Foreman, former British defense attaché for Moscow and Kiev, says.
Military experts expect these Russian efforts are not directly aimed at fighting with NATO. Putin is probably more interested in expanding long-term military capabilities compared to NATO. The Kremlin's response to perceived threats has always been violence. The war economy is in full swing, Putin is sending huge numbers of soldiers to the combat zone in Ukraine.
