“Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, it has been difficult to maintain an effective offensive combat force, and this problem is likely to become more acute. In addition to a serious shortage of personnel, Russian planners are faced with a dilemma between deploying reserves in Donbas or defending against Ukrainian counterattacks in the southwestern direction of Kherson.” , the message reads.
As noted, Russia continues to involve six separate armies in its offensive in Donbas. In full, before the invasion, these formations numbered approximately 150,000 people.
In recent weeks, the Russian Federation has often used company-sized groups of about 100 people, conducting offensive operations in one sector at a time.
