There are around 370,000 Russian military personnel on Ukrainian territory
The Russian Federation will use nearly 370,000 troops in the war in Ukraine and will attempt an offensive in the Donetsk region.
This was stated in a commentary by the Military Media Centre.
The enemy has still not given up its goal - to persuade the Ukrainian leadership to negotiate by force and destroy our state.
Russia is currently concentrating its forces in the Donetsk region. Specifically:
- is trying to establish control over Bakhmut;
- will continue its attempts to seize Avdiivka and Marinka.
At the same time, an enemy offensive from the Belarusian direction looks extremely unlikely in the near future," the Defence Forces add.
It is noted that about 315 armed formations of the occupation army are fighting against Ukraine.
In total, the enemy is using about 369,000 personnel and about 5,900 pieces of heavy weaponry against Ukrainian troops," the report reads.
