Russia’s recent mobilisation has increased its military threat in Ukraine

Russia’s recent mobilisation has increased its military threat in Ukraine, with better trained soldiers now arriving at the frontline, Qazet.az reports according to the commander of Ukrainian ground forces.

But he said Russia was now using a lot of old equipment because it had no other way of replenishing supplies, and that Russian forces had made only slow progress around Bakhmut, one of the main battle zones in eastern Ukraine, Reuters reported.

“On the eastern front, the situation is very tense, the enemy attacks our units every day,” General Oleksander Syrskyi told national television.
