Russia plans to increase its military force: Zelensky named the figure.


According to the Deputy Head of the President's Office, Pavlo Palisa, Russia plans to increase its military grouping by 150,000 people this year. This is approximately 15 motorized rifle divisions. Palisa also noted that the Russians would attempt to exert pressure in areas where possible. He pointed out that this is happening against the backdrop of consultations regarding a ceasefire, in which the Russians have limited interest. On the ground, the enemy continues to gradually lose certain sections of the front, but the Ukrainian army is also counterattacking and achieving results.
Recall that Zelensky assessed the chances of forcing Russia to cease fire in the coming weeks or months.

Their formation is ongoing. The Russians currently have no problems with personnel recruitment. However, it is important to understand that all these units cannot be deployed into battle simultaneously. Therefore, it is expected that they will try to exert maximum pressure in areas where possible in the near future.
