Russia intends to increase the number of troops in Ukraine by another 90 thousand people due to a set of volunteer and reserve battalions, said Vadim Skibitsky, a representative of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, writes countries.ua.
According to him, now 160 thousand Russian military are busy in Ukraine, not counting the Russian Guard.
At the same time, the Russian investigative resource Conflict Intelligence Team reports that the third army corps newly formed and staffed by modern technology has already been transferred to the Neklinovka Rostov Region near the border with the Donetsk region. They believe that the corps is prepared for the subsequent transfer to the front – either to the Donbass or to the Zaporizhzhya region. The third building has modern samples of Russian equipment, for example, BMP-3, T-80BVM and T-90M.
