Russia, which has recruited hundreds of thousands of contract soldiers, will create two new armies and 30 formations including 14 divisions and 16 brigades, Shoigu said.

Are these the guys from India and other countries that got promised logistics jobs, and then got sent to the front lines to fight?

How many new soldiers does that equate to?
