Russia has already exhausted the reserves of combat-ready battalion tactical groups. In the Russian Federation at the state level there is a covert mobilization. In the Belgorod and Rostov regions, on the basis of conscripts and mobilization resources, new units of troops are being formed, which are sent to the territory of Ukraine. However, the use of such troops is mostly ineffective.. This was stated by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Vadym Skibitsky.

According to Skibitsky, Russian military registration and enlistment offices call for military service, sign contracts, after which new units are formed and sent to the territory of Ukraine.

“How effective the use of such troops is already shown by the fighting. In many cases, this is not effective, but we really understand that today the Russian Federation has exhausted the resources related to the most combat-ready tactical battalion groups, ”added the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate.

However, he noted that the Russian Federation still has enough reserves to send to the territory of Ukraine.

Skibitsky also confirmed information about depression and a depressive moral and psychological climate in the units of the Russian troops..

According to him, the most depressed morale is among the military personnel of the 1st and 2nd army corps from the temporarily occupied territories of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, since it is there that forced mobilization takes place.

Untrained personnel, in fact, having no combat experience, are now sent to the most important areas.

“In addition, those reservists who are sent to the territory of Ukraine from the Russian Federation, especially from its central regions, eastern regions, they just drove and thought that they were going to earn money, but here, in fact, they are met with powerful resistance from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the defense forces.

He also said that instead of receiving money, the invaders return home in body bags, which greatly affects the morale of the Russian military..

The moral and psychological state of Russian servicemen involved in hostilities in Ukraine remains a serious problem for top leadership. An increase in the number of battalion tactical groups cannot affect the fulfillment of their tasks, the US Department of Defense said..
