Russia’s Armed Forces have decreased by almost 300 servicemen, according to a decree published Monday on the government’s legal portal.
The country's Armed Forces include ground troops, the Navy and Aerospace Forces. A decree signed by Putin in November which went into force on Jan. 1, puts the total number of troops at 1,902,758.
That constitutes a drop of 293 people compared to the 1,903051 servicemen stipulated in an earlier decree, state-run news agency TASS reports.
Some 40 percent of those employed by the Defense Ministry have noncombat roles, including cooks, drivers and medical personnel.
