The formation of new strategic reserves for the Russian military has been postponed due to personnel and equipment shortages, with only 70,000 of the planned 410,000 recruits expected to be available for 2026. As the focus remains on replenishing losses in Ukraine, the quality of new divisions is compromised, often relying on improvised vehicles. Financial constraints further hinder the acquisition of necessary resources, complicating the establishment of effective military formations.
