The invaders decreased: why the number of troops of the Russian Federation in the territory of Ukraine decreased

For the first time since the beginning of a full -scale invasion, the number of troops of the Russian Federation in the territory of Ukraine has decreased for the month. Emphasizing this fact, the military observer Alexander Kovalenko explains at what sections of the front and why it happened. An interesting phenomenon is now observed in the war zone with Russian occupation troops. The fact is that since the beginning of April, their total number in the database was reduced by almost 10 thousand.

Thus, as of the end of April, the grouping of the moles in Ukraine is calculated in 466 thousand bodies. For its part, at the beginning of April, the invaders in Ukraine were more than 475 thousand. Such a striking reduction is marked for the first time in more than two years of active fighting. In groups of troops, the situation is as follows: I would like to indicate the newly formed GV "North", created on the basis of groups of cover groups of the border "Bryansk", "Kursk" and "Belgorod".

Before the reform, their number was 35. 5 thousand bodies, and as of today - 49. 5 thousand bodies. An increase of 10 thousand bodies, but at the same time, this number is not enough to fully control the existing border with Ukraine, not to mention the threat of invasion and seizure of Kharkiv, Sumy or Chernihiv. In addition, I emphasize that this GV is out of the war zone.

Yes, it can be stated that the Russian command cannot fully solve the problem with the accumulation of human resources because of the high level of loss. If it is necessary to rapidly strengthen one of the GV in some direction, not so much reserves as the resource of other GV.

All this indicates the inevitability of increased mobilization in Russia, the current level of which the command of the ROV is absolutely not suitable and does not allow at the same time to compensate for the losses in zero and to increase the presence in the database zone, to form new units in the territory of Russia itself. Only one thing or one and a half, at the expense of an existing resource. The author expresses a personal opinion that may not coincide with the editorial position.
