They assume that the current number allows the war to be waged for another 6-12 months.
In their opinion, in a year Ukraine could allegedly face a sharp shortage of personnel.
Representatives of the US Department of Defense claim that Ukraine has allegedly transferred some newly created brigades, which were originally planned to be used for defense in the East and South or to create reserves for a counteroffensive during 2025, were sent to the Kursk region of Russia.
At the same time, Russia faced a shortage of soldiers and forces, and the achievements in the war against Ukraine came at a high price for the aggressor country.
However, Russia is still recruiting 25 to 30 thousand people into the army every month, the publication said.
According to the calculations of American officials, next year Ukraine will be able to take advantage of Russia's weakness, as well as the expected shortage of troops and tanks, but in this case, support from the United States should not become weaker.
