By the way, there is a problem, because if we had a little more technological component called" Long Rocket "with a range of 150, and preferably 250 kilometers, then Many potential "black packages" would be like that at the entrance to the occupied territory of Ukraine. This is a very important point, "Podolyak explained. The adviser to the head of OP noted that Ukraine needs more powerful technological support to combat Russian troops.
In particular, long -range missiles that could destroy the logging of the invaders, as well as the means of radio electronic struggle (HRB).

Putin said that at first 300,000 people were called in partial mobilization, and then moved to a set of military under contracts, which made it possible to reach a number in the army in the amount of 486 thousand people. At the same time, he stated that there are 244 thousand mobilized soldiers on the front, and the total number of groups of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine is 617 thousand people.
According to a number of Ukrainian journalists, as well as the adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petr Andryushchenko, from Putin's statements it is possible to conclude on the loss of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.

Of these, 244 thousand are mobilized, 486 thousand were volunteers, and there were a group of 250,000 people, which invaded Ukraine in February 2022.
