@dubum Got a source for that? The entire man power of the Ukrainian Armed forces across all services in 196,600 as of 2022 and only 40k are deployed even during this war.

@dubum This is extremely suspect. Their military did not reach those numbers even at it's very largest in 1991 when it was around 700k with the remains of it's share of the former soviet red army.

@dubum Definitely war propaganda. The clue is in the details of the statement. Speaks volumes they have to add random services like cops and border guards to get to 700k which is still 300k short. And most of that number are not combat troops.
It is more about boosting the morale of Ukrainians than it is a valid number.
For context the US army only has 480,000 actual combat troops as of 2020.
