 Russia has increased the number of troops in Ukraine. Russian troops decide where to attack on the Ukrainian group in Bakhmut. However, the scenario according to Lisyshansk, Popoznaya, and Severodonensk were captured by Russia will not work with Bakhmut, Ukrainian military expert Alexei Arostovich believes. He noted that neither the tactics nor the strategy of the enemy have changed. The Russian Federation still wants to take the armed forces of Ukraine out of Bakhmut under the threat of complete encirclement. It cannot be said that this is a completely unsuccessful tactic. Lisyshansk, Severodonensk, Popoznaya, but in Bakhmut the situation is a little different. The terrain, the number of troops, and the defence structure is just designed to cover these clanks, said Arostovich. According to him, the Ukrainian command is quite ready for any considered threat from the enemy as evidenced by the actions of the armed forces of Ukraine in the specified direction. The Russians will regroup. They will attack. Our command knows this, judging by the actions. They are already working on this threat. Arostovich also confirmed that Russia had increased the number of troops to 340,000. About two months ago there were up to 220,000 Russian troops on our territory. Today there are already 340,000. They have increased the number and are going to use it to capture the Donensk region, told Arostovich.
