Russia is the 9th most populated country on Earth with 145 million people. They have more than enough manpower they just don't utilize it effectively.

However, like most developed nations, Russia is facing a downward trend in population growth. The easiest way to boost population would to steamroll a former COM bloc nation and absorb their population, economy, and resources. It would've been a huge success except for the fact that Ukrainians love not being apart flailing former super power. Now Russia is sending all of their young men to die which will only push Russia into further population deficits. This will be Putin's undoing.
