"The Russian Federation has concentrated in our temporarily occupied territories and in the Crimean peninsula more than 420 thousand servicemen.

This, if not taken into account by Rosgvardia, other structures, special units, power structures of the Russian Federation providing occupation power in our territories," he said. In numbers, it looks like this: Skibitsky expressed the opinion that despite more than a year and a half, full -scale aggression by Russia, the country has not been able to achieve its strategic goal - the full occupation of the Ukrainian territory. "Then there were other strategic goals.

First of all-the full occupation of Lugansk and Donetsk regions. And now, today, the most active fighting of the Russian Federation is conducting, in fact, in two directions-Kupyansk-Lyman Donetsk, in order to accomplish at least some task and completely enter the administrative borders of Lugansk and Donetsk region, "he added.
