Russian invaders continue to intensively strike at Ukrainian territory. It must be understood that their offensive is not yet completed, so the fighting may intensify.
This was stated by the head of the Center for Military Legal Research Alexander Musienko on Channel 24.
According to him, the Russians really took many measures to break through and check our defense lines. However, they make many mistakes, so the occupiers have problems.
At the same time, the maneuvering defense used by the Ukrainian military is very effective.
It must be understood that this offensive has not yet been completed and we can still really see the intensification of hostilities. We need to prepare for this,” the military expert noted.
How many occupiers are in Ukraine
According to Musienko, now the occupiers have managed to gather 92 battalion- tactical groups for the war in Ukraine, in particular, in the East and South of our state. They include not only the military who have been participating in the war since February 24, but also those who were additionally transferred from other regions to strengthen them.
Not every battalion tactical group has a thousand people. As a rule, the average figure is 700 – 800 people, so we can say that a maximum of 75 – 80 thousand Russian troops are now on the territory.

As Musienko added, now is a very important period to restrain the Russian offensive, because Ukraine needs time for all the weapons that it agreed with the West to reach the Donbass. Then the Ukrainian military will be able to fight back even more effectively than now.
