Putin claims a rise in military volunteers is aiding Russia's territorial gains in Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that a surge in volunteers joining the military is helping Russia gain momentum in the Ukraine war. Putin stated that Russian forces have pushed Ukrainian troops out of nearly 200 settlements this year and have taken control of about 4,500 square kilometers of territory, advancing an average of 30 square kilometers per day. Over 430,000 Russians signed army contracts this year, up from 300,000 last year, which Putin attributes to Russia's military progress.
