Peskov: the increase in the number of contract soldiers in the Russian Armed Forces speaks of the consolidation of society. On April 3, the Ministry of Defense announced that since the beginning of 2024, more than 100 thousand people have entered military service under contract.
Over the past ten days, about 16 thousand citizens have signed contracts, says Peskov. The increase is further evidence of the high degree of internal mobilization and consolidation of our society around President Putin, says the Kremlin representative. The number of those wishing to enlist in the Armed Forces has increased in the past week and a half.
