 Russia deploys over 180,000 troops to two major eastern fronts. Russia has deployed over 180,000 troops to the Lyman-Kupiansk and Bakhmut fronts. Serhii Cherivati, spokesman for the East Group of Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said it. A rather powerful group of forces has been deployed on the Lyman-Kupiansk front over 120 enemy units. This includes air assault and mechanized units, units of the Bars Combat Army Reserve, territorial forces, and new Storm-Z assault companies that recruited people with criminal records. More than 180,000 Russian troops have been deployed across the area of responsibility of the East Group of Forces of Ukraine. The Lyman-Kupiansk front is longer, which is why the enemy is concentrating their forces there. Meanwhile, there are around 50,000 Russian troops on the Bakhmut front, Cherivati said. Meanwhile, he said that a fight for seizing the initiative was underway on the Bakhmut front. Since the beginning of June, Ukrainian troops have been active in several areas of the front line. In particular, they launched an offensive near Bakhmut in the Donetsk region. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on June 27th, Ukrainian troops successfully advanced in the area of seven settlements near Bakhmut. Ukrainian soldiers raised the flag on the Kurdiumivska Dam, which is located near the village of Kurdiumivka, south of Bakhmut.
