 Russia sent new army to front. Since mid-September 2023, Russia has most likely sent elements of its new 25th Combined Arms Army to the front for the first time. The formation began moving to Ukraine in late August. This was reported by the British Ministry of Defence. The report says that units from two of 25 Combined Arms Army manoeuvre components, 67th Motor Rifle Division and 164th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade are reported to be fighting on the front in a sector west of Severo Donetsk and Kremlin along the border between Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts. Intelligence experts note that since the start of the invasion, Russia has only rarely maintained an uncommitted army-sized grouping which could potentially form the basis of a major new offensive thrust. With 25 Combined Arms Army apparently being deployed piecemeal to reinforce the overstretched line, a concerted new Russian offensive is less likely over the coming weeks, the British Ministry of Defence said in a report. In this case, Russian Defence Ministry Sergei Shogu said that the goals of the military operation must be fully achieved by 2025. The Minister noted that the United States and its allies continue to arm Ukraine and force the Ukrainian armed forces to conduct military operations while Kyiv sends untrained soldiers on pointless attacks. The actions of Kyiv and its patrons actually lead Ukraine to self-destruction. Russia is increasing the strength of its armed forces by improving the training of personnel and equipping the army with the most modern types of weapons.
