Russia's President Vladimir Putin said his forces are prevailing in what he described as a righteous battle in Ukraine. Our fighters and commanders go on the attack, and the entire country, all of Russia, is waging this righteous battle and working hard, he said. President Putin signed a decree ordering the conscription of 135,000 men for military service, the official government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.

With a new conscription drive aiming to enlist an unprecedented 160,000 young men, Russia intensifies efforts against draft dodgers amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.

Conscription for military purposes is vital to the United States now that this country has entered the war. Our success or failure pivots on military support.
