"Tighten mobilized": the Ministry of Defense has revealed plans of Russian troops for the New Year

The invaders have completed the regrouping of the army in temporarily employed parts of Kherson, Zaporizhzhya and Donetsk regions. The movement of an additional contingent was recorded in the Rostov and Belgorod regions, as well as in the Crimea. The Russian army will in the near future focus on increasing the presence in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

Currently, the enemy troops are replenished, said the spokesman of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR MO) Vadim Skibitsky on the air of a single telephony. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation after leaving the right bank of the Dnieper finished regrouping troops in the occupied parts of Kherson, Zaporizhzhya and Donetsk regions. In these territories, according to Skibitsky, they created reserves.

GUR MO emphasizes the quite active movement of units of territorial troops, which were mobilized in Russia in all military districts. Ukrainian intelligence noticed the movement of Russian military in Rostov and Belgorod region and through the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea to the Kherson region.

These steps of the Kremlin take to strengthen the presence in the temporarily occupied territories and replenish the losses in the ranks of troops, which have been fighting since February, summarized the spokesman of the GUR MO. According to Skibitsky, Ukrainian intelligence does not see the creation of a powerful offensive group in Belarus. There are now about 9,000 servicemen in this country and the 1st Tank Army has conducted combat training.

These maneuvers control the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the command of the 1st tank army, he added. "We do not exclude that there can be two options for applying this division: whether from the territory of Belarus, whether it is a rotary return to the territory of Ukraine - perhaps to Kharkiv or other directions," Skibitsky informed.

The threat of invasion from the north is still stored, it is expected to intensify combat training in Belarus, continued the spokesman of the GUR MO. "The problem is that today there is insufficient weapon that has been transported to Belarus. The Russian Federation actively removes weapons and military equipment from warehouses, arsenals, centers of mobilization deployment," Skibitsky said.

The Ministry of Defense also does not record the supply of missiles from Iran to Russia, but the side has such negotiations. "There are appropriate projects between Russia and Iran, we have not fixed the supply of such weapons today," he summarized. We will remind that earlier in Ukrainian intelligence talked about the special spread of rumors about alleged preparation of the offensive from Belarus. This is done to intimidate Ukrainians, experts emphasized.
