Russia is expected to significantly increase the size of its military presence in Ukraine, with an additional 200-300 thousand troops set to join their ranks, according to Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov in an interview with Reuters.
The minister added that the current number of Russian forces stationed in Ukraine and along its borders stands at 500 thousand troops.
Umerov emphasized the urgency of mobilizing fresh recruits to facilitate the rotation of military personnel in response to the anticipated surge in Russian troop numbers.
"At this stage, we are focused on training our personnel ... pilots, we are focused on infrastructure, we are focused on bringing operational and maintenance teams and we are working on modernisation or bringing on more platforms."

Yeah because 300,000 Russian citizens of Belgorod have such a wonderful experience with the Uke nazis shelling them and sending nutty saboteurs to shoot drivers and kids going to school….plus the heaping pension and social benefits of being Ukrainian and having their men dragooned off the streets for military service against Russians….
they’ll be lining up to trade passports!
Nazis shelling, that is good. How many Ukrainian cites has muskovites razed, as to dragged off, your projection is as good as the rest of the usuals.
Seriously you guys are funny
Well, Mariupol is one.
Oh, wait…
“with no vital US interests at stake, no obvious way to win and no exit strategy,”
The interest at stake was the Cold War which was to stop communism. The domino effect was real and did play out. As a result communism is no longer on our door step, it’s within our country right now.
The Vietnam war was a military success which led to the Paris Peace Accords, which in effect was to end the war.
There was an exit strategy, US combat troops left Vietnam in 1973.
It appears to are pro communist or have drank the communist koolaid and believe propaganda or are just ignorant of history.
Let me school you some more. The North was badly beaten and needed the Peace Accords to regroup and rearm. Once done they led a massive invasion. The South Vietnamese held their own after our pullout. What caused them to lose the war was Sen Ted Kennedy got congress to defund their aid. As a result the South Viets literally ran out of bullets and gasoline and had to surrender.
Your friends, the communist democrats, are the ones that lost the war and got communism in our own country today.
As a Vietnam Vet I take deep offense to your trying to clutter that war in with current regime efforts in Ukraine.
Do not post to me again.
Perhaps I am misunderstanding you. Are you comparing the relative limited attacks on Belgorod to the massive attacks on nearly all of Ukraine as equal?
As to Mariupol, what’s your point?
Then don’t cheer for communist victories.
I advised you in post #145 to NOT post to me again. Take your complaints elsewhere, and stop harassing me.
Don’t get in a chit match. If necessary take your issue
to the mods and let them handle it. Just ignore and it
let the mods settle it. Take care.
