About the fact that at this stage of the war in the TOT (temporarily occupied territories) of our country there are from 510,000 to 513,000 “liberators”, but it seems that soon these numbers will grow, writes NBN, citing a statement by Lieutenant General Alexander Pavlyuk, commander of the Ukrainian Ground Forces, published by The Times.
According to Pavlyuk, by the end of this year the number of the “second army of the world” will be may increase as the Russian Federation concentrates forces to intensify offensive operations in the summer. In particular, it is expected that Moscow intends to mobilize another 100,000 military personnel with the aim of strengthening its troops already in Ukraine, “in June and July.”
Commander of the Ground Forces emphasized that every month Putin’s army loses up to 25,000-30 000 people, both killed and wounded, therefore the Kremlin will continue to strive to replenish the ranks of the invaders with at least 300 000 soldiers.
