Reznikov noted the work of signalmen, cyber specialists and doctors

In July, Reznikov already stated that more than 1 million Ukrainians keep the defense in military uniform. The head of the Ministry of Defense confirmed that there are almost a million people “under the bayonet” in the defense sector.

The minister noted that not only military personnel, but also doctors, who also wear military uniforms, protect the country.

Under the bayonet is a bit arbitrary, because, for example, doctors are in uniform. They also all wear uniforms, but they do their job, signalmen, cyber specialists, etc. – said Reznikov.

According to the latest information, as Reznikov said, about 111 or 115 tactical battalion groups are advancing on Ukraine.

“This is about 137 thousand military men,” the minister said.

What are Ukraine's losses at the front?

• In June, Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov reported on the difficult situation at the front. He stated that Ukraine loses hundreds of soldiers killed and up to 500 wounded every day.
• But in July, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny reported that the situation at the front had been stabilized.
• Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak recently said that Ukraine loses 30-50 people in the war every day. Mikhail Podolyak explained the heavy losses in June by the fact that “then there was a transition to the second stage of the war.” According to him, then a big artillery positional war began.
