1 week agoUkraine is only first': Zelenskyy warns against Putin's expansionist goals
Russia seeks to expand its war across Europe, prompting urgent global action to counter incursions and an accelerating arms race.
It has been suggested that Vladimir Putin could be preparing for war with NATO and the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) think tank said 292,000 recruits signed contract between January and September this year, according to a Russian source. The ISW said the Russian source has "consistently provided accurate reports about changes in the Russian military command". Several thousand of the new recruits have joined reserve forces and since July Putin has been quietly building this up.
