President Vladimir Putin on Monday ordered the regular size of the Russian army to be increased by 180,000 troops to 1.5 million active servicemen in a move that would make it the second largest in the world after China’s.
In a decree published on the Kremlin’s website, Putin ordered the overall size of the armed forces to be increased to 2.38 million people, of which he said 1.5 million should be active servicemen.
According to data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), a leading military think tank, such an increase would see Russia leapfrog the United States and India in terms of the number of active combat soldiers it has at its disposal and be second only to China in size. The IISS said Beijing has just over 2 million active duty service personnel.
The move, the third time Putin has expanded the army’s ranks since sending his military into Ukraine in February 2022, comes as Russian forces push forward in eastern Ukraine on parts of a vast 1,000 km (627-mile) frontline and try to eject Ukrainian forces from Russia’s Kursk region.
Although Russia has a population more than three times larger than Ukraine’s and has been successfully recruiting volunteers on lucrative contracts to fight in Ukraine, it has – like Kyiv’s forces – been sustaining heavy battlefield losses, and there is no sign of the war ending anytime soon.
Both sides say the exact size of their losses is a military secret.
Andrei Kartapolov, chairman of Russia’s lower house of parliament’s defence committee, said the increase in active troop numbers was part of a plan to overhaul the armed forces and gradually increase their size to match what he described as the current international situation and the behaviour of “our former foreign partners.”

From crispy kale chips and roasted potato wedges to creamy soups and herb-y pasta salad, I’m sharing 15 healthy sides for sandwiches.
Sandwiches are a super satisfying lunch!
I believe the first sandwich was created out of efficiency of putting all the carbs, veggies, and protein you need into one portable, easy-to-eat, hand-held meal!
They’re versatile, easy to prepare, and offer endless possibilities for flavor combinations. Whether you prefer a classic ham and cheese or a gourmet creation with artisanal ingredients (that’s me!), sandwiches can be a complete meal in themselves. Check out my list of delicious sandwich recipes.
Throwback pic to the Great Harvest sandwich making days!
However, pairing them with the right sides can elevate the sandwich experience, adding variety and nutrition to your plate. Whether you’re enjoying cold sandwiches or hot sandwiches, adding a complementary side can make your meal more satisfying and nutritionally balanced.
Fun fact: when I first met Thomas his sandwich sides were chips and cookies. I (gently, over time!) urged him to add some veggies and antioxidants to his sides, and I’m happy to say he does this naturally now (although he still always has some chips!)
I’m sharing a round-up of healthy sides (from KERF and fellow bloggers) that complement sandwiches perfectly, making your meal that much more enjoyable.
15 Healthy Sides For Sandwiches
1. Fruit Salad
Fruit salad is a refreshing and healthy side dish that pairs wonderfully with any sandwich. Combining a variety of fresh fruits like berries, melon, grapes, and citrus not only adds a burst of flavor but also provides essential vitamins and minerals. A fruit salad can be quickly and easily prepared ahead of time, making it a convenient option for a busy lunch or picnic.
2. Veggies with Hummus
For a crunchy and nutritious side, vegetable sticks with hummus are hard to beat. Carrot sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, and celery are perfect for dipping into creamy hummus. This side dish is not only healthy but also provides a great contrast in texture of a sandwich.
3. Pasta Salad
Pasta salad is a versatile side dish that can be tailored to complement the flavors of your sandwich. Opt for a whole grain or vegetable-based pasta and toss it with colorful veggies, lean proteins like grilled chicken or beans, and a light vinaigrette. This dish can be served cold, making it ideal for pairing with cold sandwiches. I love this Summer Pasta Salad with Herb Dressing and this Caprese Pasta Salad.
4. Potato Salad
Potato salad is a classic side dish for sandwiches, and with a few tweaks, it can be made healthier. Use Greek yogurt or a mixture of Greek yogurt and light mayonnaise as the base for a creamy yet lower-calorie dressing. Add in diced celery, red onion, and fresh herbs for extra flavor and crunch.
5. Green Salad
A simple green salad is a perfect side dish for any sandwich. Mix together a variety of leafy greens such as spinach, arugula, and kale, and add your favorite salad toppings. Dress it lightly with a homemade salad dressing!
6. Quinoa Salad
Quinoa salad is a nutrient-dense side dish that pairs well with both hot and cold sandwiches. I have a few quinoa salad recipes on KERF, including this feta and herb quinoa salad and this Greek quinoa salad.
7. Roasted Vegetables
Roasted vegetables are a fantastic side dish that can be prepared in the oven or air fryer. Carrots, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and bell peppers are just a few options that roast beautifully. Season with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs for a side dish that is both flavorful and healthy. Have you tried roasted panko okra!?
8. Potato Wedges
If you’re craving something more substantial, potato wedges (or sweet potato wedges) are a perfect alternative to traditional french fries. Baked in the oven or cooked in an air fryer, potato wedges can be seasoned with a variety of spices to match the flavors of your sandwich. They offer a satisfying crunch without the excess oil of deep-frying.
9. Coleslaw
Coleslaw is a classic side dish for sandwiches, especially grilled cheese sandwiches and pulled pork sandwiches. To make it healthier, use a vinegar-based dressing or a lighter version of the traditional creamy dressing. Incorporate a mix of green and red cabbage, carrots, and even some apple slices for added sweetness.
10. Creamy Soup
A bowl of creamy soup can transform a simple sandwich into a comforting meal. Opt for healthier versions like a creamy tomato basil soup made with low-fat milk or a creamy carrot soup that uses blended vegetables for its creamy texture. This warm and inviting side is perfect for colder days.
11. Zucchini Chips
For a crunchy and healthy alternative to chips, try air-fried zucchini chips. Slice zucchini thinly, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and air fry until crispy. These chips are a great way to add some extra vegetables to your meal without compromising on flavor or texture.
12. Cucumber Salad
Cucumber salad is a light and refreshing side that pairs well with sandwiches. This recipe from Eating Bird Food is a quick and easy side dish that is perfect for hot summer days – I love all of the crunch!
13. Caprese Salad
Caprese salad is a classic Italian side that combines fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil leaves drizzled with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. This salad is not only visually appealing but also complements sandwiches with its fresh and tangy flavors.
14. Kale Chips
Who doesn’t love chips with their sandwich? Yes, potato chips! And while nothing is wrong with a few handful of chips, try kale chips if aiming for a healthier option. Kale chips made in an air fryer get perfectly crispy and crunchy in just a few minutes and make preparing kale as easy as can be!
15. Grilled Vegetables
Grilled vegetables are an excellent side dish for sandwiches, especially during the summer months. Zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, and mushrooms all grill beautifully and can be seasoned with herbs and spices to enhance their natural flavors. Serve them warm alongside your favorite sandwich for a hearty and healthy meal.
Why Side Dishes Matter
Adding side dishes to your sandwich meal not only makes it more enjoyable, but also helps create a balanced plate. Healthy side dishes can provide additional nutrients, textures, and flavors, making your meal more interesting and satisfying. Here are a few reasons why side dishes are important:
Nutritional Balance: Side dishes can add essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber to your meal, complementing the protein and carbohydrates in your sandwich.
Flavor Variety: A well-chosen side dish can enhance the overall flavor profile of your meal, offering contrasts in taste and texture.
Satisfaction: Including a variety of foods in your meal can help you feel more satisfied and less likely to snack between meals.
Pairing Tips
When choosing sides for sandwiches, consider the following tips to create a harmonious meal:
Balance Flavors: Pair rich and savory sandwiches with lighter sides like salads or fruit to balance the flavors.
Texture Contrast: If your sandwich is soft and creamy, add a crunchy side like vegetable sticks or air-fried zucchini chips for textural variety.
Temperature Match: Pair hot sandwiches with warm sides like roasted vegetables or creamy soup and cold sandwiches with chilled sides like pasta salad or cucumber salad.
Whether you’re enjoying a quick lunch at home or packing a picnic, these 15 healthy and delicious side dishes are perfect for serving with sandwiches – enjoy!

The term “numerical grey zone” might seem abstract to many, but for those involved in atmospheric and oceanic modeling, it represents a challenging predicament. The numerical grey zone describes any numerical model that can resolve processes in some regions but not others, e.g. mesoscale eddies in low and high latitudes, respectively. Mesoscale eddies are energetic rotating currents with length scales of 10 – 100 km that populate the global ocean. Similar difficulties surrounding the grey zone arise in convective permitting atmospheric models.
Eddy-permitting ocean models suffer from this numerical grey zone, making it inextricably difficult to accurately represent eddies. For example, the Met Office Hadley Centre global coupled medium resolution climate model used in CMIP6 performed poorly in the Southern Ocean. In particular, the current flowing through Drake passage, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, was took weak, owing to a warm temperature bias (Kuhlbrodt et al., 2018). The cause of these issues was reasoned to be because of the poor representation of mesoscale processes in the NEMO ocean model component. Eddy-permitting ocean models have the potential to resolve more important processes while not being too computationally expensive to run. Ideally, higher-resolution models would be used to navigate this problem. Unfortunately, we are constrained by computational limits.
The Southern Ocean is a major region of water mass transformations, where deep waters upwell and interact with the atmosphere and cryosphere. The Southern Ocean is also home to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current that hosts a vigorous eddy field. In this region, eddies transport heat polewards, acting as a potential mechanism for the cross-shelf transport of warm waters onto ice shelves. Moreover, eddies also contribute to the ventilation of surface and interior ocean waters, influencing the air-sea exchange of properties like heat and carbon, and even affecting cloud properties and rainfall. The Southern Ocean’s importance is clear, with it being vital to accurately represent mesoscale eddy processes.
As part of the project “Earth System Models for the Future 2025” our task was to try and improve Southern Ocean circulation in the eddy-permitting NEMO model by implementing a new eddy parameterisation. A parameterisation is an equation that approximates the effect of processes that take place below the model’s grid resolution. Here, we are interested in the Leith viscosity parameterisations, which more faithfully represent mesoscale turbulence compared with other more common closures (Bachman et al., 2017). There are two Leith schemes: 2D Leith is proportional to relative vorticity; QG Leith is proportional to quasi-geostrophic vorticity. A benefit of the Leith closures is their utility in being used as the Gent-McWilliams (GM) diffusivity coefficient. The GM parameterisation works by mimicking the eddy transport of oceanic tracers like temperature and salinity. Employing the typical GM scheme at eddy-permitting resolution degrades eddies that have been resolved explicitly by the model. With the Leith schemes used in GM, they are argued to simultaneously not weaken resolved eddies while parameterising unresolved eddies. Added developments have also been carried out by the Met Office (MO), which include a weak GM coefficient used when the model cannot explicitly resolve eddies. These MO developments have shown promising results (Guiavarc’h et al., 2024).
To date, we have carried out simulations examining the impact of the Leith viscosity parameterisations in the eddy-permitting NEMO model, ORCA025. More specifically, we run the Met Office’s Global Ocean Sea Ice 9 configuration. The above figure shows the results of the transport through Drake passage during the spin-up cycle. We intend to analyse the second cycle soon. The line labelled biharm is the standard simulation developed by the MO. Its respective dotted line is the same simulation without the MO changes. The other lines show the results of the Leith schemes. With the Leith schemes, we see an increase in transport of around 10-20 Sverdrups (Sv), which is exactly what we want to see, considering that observations are around 170 Sv.
Our analysis is still in its infancy with many questions still requiring an answer. Do the Leith schemes reduce the Southern Ocean temperature biases? Do we see any changes to the formation of water masses? In the Southern Ocean, do we see any reduction in sensitivity of zonal transport and overturning circulation to wind speed changes? By improving the ocean circulation with the Leith closures, we hope to better utilise eddy-permitting models for long-range climate projections. Watch out for a publication later in the year.
