Russian President Putin revealed on the 18th local time that more than 700,000 Russian soldiers are currently fighting on the front lines of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to "Russia Today" (RT).
On the same day, Putin introduced this information during a meeting with leaders of various parties in the State Duma. He stated that "more than 700,000 soldiers have been deployed along the contact line."
The report pointed out that the Russian side rarely releases specific numbers of troops involved in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The previous estimate was in January 2024, when Putin stated that about 600,000 Russian soldiers were in the combat area.
