THE Putin invites another 160,000 Russians aged 18 to 30 to serve in war in Ukrainebroadcast the Russian News Agency Interfax.

The new recruitment, which begins today, April 1st until July 15, is coming in the midst of a ceasefire negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, with the mediation of the United States.

Volodimir Zelenski claims that Russia is delaying the peace process as it is preparing a huge new attack to grab more Ukrainian land before real peace talks.

“According to our information, Russia is preparing for new attacks in the areas of Sumi, Harkov and Zaporizia,” Zelenski said last week.

“They are delaying negotiations and trying to drag the US into endless, meaningless discussions on false terms to save time and then try to grab even more land. Putin wants to negotiate from a stronger position. He only thinks of war. Therefore, our work – all of us – is the defense in the broad sense of the word, ”he added.

However, Donald Trump, who said on Sunday that he was “pissed” by Putin’s desire to remove Zelenski from power to make a peace treaty possible, still believes that the Kremlin leader will keep his word.

Some military would be fired by the army after serving their term. Independent Russian journalists have managed to verify the names of more than 100,000 Russian troops who have been killed since Putin invaded Ukraine, though Kiev claims that total Russian casualties are approaching one million dead and wounded.

Ukraine has lost more than 46,000 troops and more than 380,000 have been injured, Zelenski said in February. In March, Kiev managed to improve the survival rate of Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian army leader General Oleksandr Syrskyi said in a statement on Monday.
