The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov declares that the Russian Federation to the borders of Ukraine touched only about 130 thousand military, taking into account maritime and aviation potential. According to the correspondent UNIAN, he said, speaking in the Verkhovna Rada during an hour of questions to the government.
“Speaking from this Tribune in December, I noted that the winter training period began in Russia. For all of Russia, troops are moving. Information about it is specially distributed, and this is also a means of pressure, and not only not enough to Ukraine. In At the beginning of December, we observed 41 battalion-tactical groups and other divisions of the Russian army, which numbered 94 thousand people, with the aviation and maritime component it was about 110 thousand. Now we are watching parts that are about 112 thousand people, and from the marine and The aviation component is about 130 thousand people, “Reznikov emphasized.
“in April last year, the combat component, which was tightened by Russia, was 126 thousand people. Consequently, the number then and now commensurate, incommensurate the reaction. I also note that Russia pulled 300 tanks more than spring, but the number of modern anti-tank agents Today, today our military – this is “Stunign” and “Corsair”, and “Jevelin”, and NLAW, – an order of magnitude more than the number of potential targets, “he said.
As Revikov notes, “as of now there is no phenomena or actions of a military nature (from the Russian Federation – UNIAN), which would noticeably differ from what happened last year, before Easter.”
“The only difference in the military, followed by which we closely follow – this is a situation in Belarus,” said Reznikov.
