Ukraine: Kiev intelligence reports approximately 700,000 Russian soldiers on our territory

Rome, 6 September (LaPresse) – There are approximately 700,000 Russian military personnel deployed in Ukraine, including National Guard soldiers, special forces and support units. This was announced by Ukrainian military intelligence (Hur) spokesman Andrii Yusov, as reported by Kiev Independent. ‘Most are deployed in the Donetsk oblast, which demonstrates (Russia’s) priorities,’ Yusov said in an interview with Ukrainian news channel Novyny.Live. The Ukrainian army has about 900,000 military personnel on duty across the country, but President Volodymyr Zelensky said in January that Russia continues to hold a numerical advantage in some frontline sectors thanks to its concentration of forces.
