Russia can mobilize 30,000 troops monthly – UA’s intell chief

21 February 2024, 03:14 PM

Russia has the capability to mobilize about 30,000 individuals per month, said Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Gen. Kyrylo Budanov in The Wall Street Journal interview on Feb. 21.

This startling capability highlights the ongoing intensity of the conflict.

Budanov provided an estimate of the Russian military presence in the region. The hostile forces amount to 510,000 soldiers, both within and surrounding Ukraine. Russia aims to sow discord within Ukrainian society and its Armed Forces, alongside military attacks, according to him.

1,130 Russian soldiers were neutralized in Ukraine in the last 24 hours alone, reported the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a related update.

The total Russian military casualties since the onset of their full-scale invasion have now surpassed 406,000, marking a significant toll in this protracted conflict. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia's military losses have exceeded 406,000.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
