Shoigu sees no reason to increase the number of recruits

MOSCOW, Aug 10. It is unreasonable to increase the number of conscripts in the Russian army, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. «When I am asked if you intend to increase the number of conscripts for military service, I say that there is no special sense in this today,» Shoigu said, speaking before participants of the educational forum «Territory of Meanings». He also said that he periodically personally checks the quality of living conditions in the soldiers' barracks. «The mops are gone, the rags are gone and, as I recall, 21 thousand vacuum cleaners for wet cleaning of all barracks have come. I do not know how it is at your university. I periodically check, by the way, and you, too, these showers, vacuum cleaners and other things «, — said the minister. Shoigu instructed to put the Russians on the military register faster, he added that today there are washing machines in all barracks. The minister noted that gradually the servicemen were freed from cases unusual for them. «And today, if we talk about contract service, conscript service, people spend 80% of their time at training grounds,» Shoigu said.
