Putin beordrar styrkor att gå in i Ukraina - INVASION NU (2022-02-24)

In the past three weeks alone, Kiev has lost more than 7,000 troops killed and 970 pieces of military hardware, including 208 tanks and 245 infantry fighting vehicles, 186 other armored vehicles, 15 aircraft and 4 helicopters.

The decision to increase the standard strength of the Russian army by 137,000 starting from January 1, 2023 stems from the fact that "the US-led collective West continues its military-political course to contain Russia and its allies," and also "pursues an aggressive policy" by providing assistance to Ukraine.
