Ukraine estimates at 20,000 the troops that Russia sends each month to the battlefronts
The spokesman for the Intelligence services of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andrei Yusov, has estimated at about 20,000 troops that Russia sends to the battlefield each month. “A full-blown mobilization campaign,” he said. “The mobilization in Russia continues (…) Every month, several dozen, some 20,000 people are mobilized,” said Yusov, who has assured that the Kremlin is using all kinds of mechanisms, including “coercion” to be able to keep sending troops to the front. Yusov has pointed out, however, that among those 20,000 troops that they send to the front every month there are no relatives of high-ranking government officials or oligarchs who do business in the shadow of the Kremlin. “Many are workers, or people who have recently received Russian passports,” he said.
In this sense, Yusov has assured that obtaining a Russian passport at this time represents a “potential threat”, since there is a very high probability of being mobilized against your will and sent to Ukraine, where “death or death” awaits him. captivity”, according to the agency UNIAN.
