Each year about 750,000 males turn 18 in Russia. And they have their mandatory 1 year of military service. For males between 18-40 Russia has around 16,500,000 males.
The current Russian military has about 1,040,000 soldiers, and 360,000 additional soldiers have been called up for the first wave mobilization and are in training. Russia has 2 million in the reserves.
What Russia needs is a very broad attack on Ukraine, extending the frontlines and to have the manpower to push offensives into cities and for encirclements. The idea here isn't necessarily to actually take a lot more of Ukraine, but to be in a position to be able to do that, and then force Ukraine to negotiate.
For Ukraine they have about 200,000 males turning 18 each year. And they have about 4,400,000 males between 18-40. But we also have to take into account that Russia now controls about 1/4 of Ukraine's population in the areas Russia took over. So we have to reduce those numbers to 150,000 males turning 18 each year, and about 3,300,000 between 18-40.
The Ukraine army already has 700,000 soldiers, so they can go higher, but it will get more difficult. This is why NATO is bringing mercenaries to join the Ukraine army, especially Polish.
