On the territory of Ukraine there are now 65 combat -ready battalion tactical groups (BTG) of the Russian army, numbering about 45,000 military. On Thursday, April 14, a CNN report referred to a senior Pentagon official.
According to him, Russian troops leaving northern Ukraine began to appear in the northern part of Donbass in preparation for a large -scale offensive.
“They already have a large number of forces in the region. According to our estimates, there are a total of 65 ready combat battalion tactical groups right inside Ukraine. And they are actually located in the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine. “There is really no operational BTG outside the south and east of Ukraine.” , – the source quoted the TV channel.
According to available information, new BTGs will be introduced in Ukraine in the coming days. These are some of the units that have also left the territories in northern Ukraine in recent weeks to return to Russia and Belarus for re -supply and reinforcements before being sent to Donbass.
It will be recalled that earlier the French Ministry of Defense announced that Russian troops were preparing for a large -scale offensive in eastern Ukraine and could try to capture Donbass in the next 10 days.
