Faced with losses, Russia calls in reinforcements from across the country, says UK

Faced with “continuing personnel losses” in Ukraine, the Russian military is calling in reinforcements from across the country, according to the latest intelligence assessment released by the UK Ministry of Defence.

“Russia is increasingly looking for additional troops to reinforce and replace its losses,” reads the British assessment. “Russia is likely to be struggling to carry out offensive operations in the face of continued Ukrainian resistance.”

The UK ministry said Russia is redeploying forces from as far away as “its Eastern Military District, Pacific Fleet and Armenia” and is increasingly turning to other sources of fighters such as “private military companies, Syrians and other mercenaries”. ”.

“Russia will likely try to use these forces to hold captured territory and release its combat power to renew stalled offensive operations,” the UK assessment concludes.
