๐Top 10 Strongest Armies in the World: As global military spending rises, several nations are ramping up their active military strength. Here’s a look at the top 10 countries with the largest active-duty forces in 2025, and how #India compares to global powers like the United States of #America, #China, #Russia
While #military #strength continues to be #crucial for global security and geopolitical influence, one of the primary indicators of a countryโs military capability today is the number of active-duty personnel available for immediate deployment.
Ukraine’s Army counted approximately 2.2 million military personnel as of 2025. Of them, 900,000 were active military staff. Furthermore, 1.2 million soldiers were part of the country’s reserve forces. To compare, Russia had approximately 1.32 million active military personnel and two million of reserve military personnel. #Russia’s active soldier count was the #fourth-largest worldwide, while Ukraine’s ranked sixth.

Zorian Halan
Is Europe ready to ignore an army of this scale, one that could either become part of Europeโs security architecture, or fall into russiaโs hands?
Reply from Nataliia I
Zorian Halan : Thatโs exactly the point.
Europe isnโt just deciding whether to โsupport Ukraine.โ Itโs deciding whether a battle-tested, 2.2-million-strong force becomes a pillar of European security or a prize waiting for russia to exploit if Ukraine is abandoned.

Nataliia I. : I have said outloud and to myself : โBetter to support Ukraine and Ukrainians , than to have the country forced to turn in another direction.โ The history of Ukraine has tragedy, and remarkable resilence. What specifics can people do to support? So many charities seem like moneypits, what is effective?

Comment from :
Yet russian athletes are still permitted to participate in international competitions under a ‘neutral’ flag.
Indiscriminate kiIIing taking lives of young and old — no military purpose, just pure teะณะณะพrism.
I forwarded to everyone I know. Shame on China, shame on Iran. Shame on North Korea for enabling the Russian murderers. thank God for the neighbors who support Ukraine but also support the free world. The Baltic states, the Scandinavians, the UK, the French and the other Europeans. As for USA, should we complement ourselves for what we have done? Should we feel like we are champions of sanctions. Can I criticize my own government for not doing more? My conscience says yes, when the majority of Americans support Democracy, agree that Putin and his regime are terrorists and should stop murdering innocent people, then yes it is time to rise up and demand more of our government. In sports, in career, in most pursuits the objective is excellence not mediocrity.
What a โdouble-tapโ strike is :
๐A โdouble-tapโ (sometimes described as a second strike targeting first responders or civilians arriving after an initial strike) has been documented as a deliberate tactic.
๐These attacks often involve: 1.Initial explosion/strike on a civilian or infrastructure target. 2.A subsequent strike some time later (minutes to tens of minutes) aimed at rescuers, medics, or those evacuating wounded.
๐According to researchers: โThe tactic adds to evidence of intent to kill civilians โฆ double taps make it more difficult for an aggressor to explain away the intentional targeting of civilians, civilian objects, medical personnel, and others protected under international law.โ
โผ๏ธThese double taps are considered a violation of international humanitarian law because they target civilians, rescuers, and medical personnel โ all protected under the principle of distinction and precaution. Because they are systematically used and documented, they strengthen arguments of #intentional targeting rather than collateral damage.
