“We are working together with the Ministry of Defense [of the Russian Federation - ed.. Within 10 days, a hundred more volunteers will go to the front,” said Aksyonov, a traitor to Ukraine..

Realities note that in the context of active hostilities within the full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine, there is no way to verify Aksenov’s information and say for sure how many Crimeans are fighting against Ukraine.

Recall that in six and a half months of a full-scale war, the Russian army suffered significant irretrievable losses on the battlefield in Ukraine.. According to American intelligence, now in the ranks of the Russian Armed Forces involved in the hostilities in Ukraine, there is a significant “personnel shortage”, so the Russians have to train the so-called “volunteer battalions” from the regions and mobilize residents of the occupied Ukrainian territories.
