More than 700,000 Russian soldiers are currently fighting in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday.
Putin made the announcement at a meeting with parliamentary leaders in Moscow, the TASS news agency reported.
The meeting was primarily about creating quotas for the subsequent employment of veterans of the war.
"You see, there are more than 700,000 people on the front line," Putin was quoted as saying.
Whether the figure Putin quoted corresponds to reality cannot be independently verified.
