In August, recruitment announcements for the 25th Army stated that it would only be deployed to Ukraine from December 2023.
Russia immediately moved the newly formed 25th Army to the front due to a lack of reserves. Probably, the formation was sent in the direction of Lugansk in the northeast of Ukraine. About that reports UK Ministry of Defence.
It was noted that recently, in August 2023, announcements regarding the recruitment of military personnel in the 25th Army stated that it will be deployed in Ukraine only from December 2023.
As British intelligence officials noted, it is possible that the 25th Army units were deployed to the front earlier in part because Moscow faced an overstretch of troops at the front, while Ukraine continued to counter- offensive on three different fronts.
However, there is also the possibility that the Russian Federation will try to use units of the 25th Army to give commanders more operational flexibility.
Earlier, British intelligence reported that the Russian Federation was forming new army forces for the war in Ukraine.
Let’s recall that the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said that the Russians have assigned a “reserve army” so that their units from the Lugansk region can be redeployed to the south.
