About 200 thousand: it became known how many occupants are fighting against the Defense Forces (video)
29 October 21:35The Russian Federation has assembled a group of 200,000 troops in the south against the Defense Forces. This was stated by the spokesman for the Defense Forces of Southern Ukraine Vlad Voloshyn on the TV channel “We are Ukraine”, Komersant Ukrainian reports.
He said that these forces include the occupation forces in Crimea. But in general, this is the number of troops the Russians can count on in the south.
“As for each direction, the enemy distributes its forces according to where it is increasing its efforts and where it is holding the line. As of now, the enemy has not created any offensive groups, according to our intelligence, but in several areas it is creating additional assault groups to conduct assault operations with small infantry forces,” Voloshyn said.
The spokesman for the Southern Defense Forces also added that the Ukrainian military controls most of the islands on the Dnipro River, but the Russians are trying to force the river.
“The enemy is conducting assault operations every day, trying to force, conducting reconnaissance and search operations to identify weaknesses in our defense, to identify our firepower. To prepare footholds and create conditions for forcing and seizing (as we did a few months ago in Krynky) a foothold on the right bank of the Dnipro to bring our forces and equipment there,” Voloshyn said.
