| [Ukrinform] Russia has concentrated more than 420,000 military personnel in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Vadym Skibitskyi, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said this at the annual meeting of the Yalta European Strategy (YES), Ukrinform reports. "The Russian Federation has concentrated more than 420,000 military personnel in our temporarily occupied territories and on the Crimean peninsula," Skibitskyi said. At the same time, he noted that this figure does not take into account the soldiers of the Russian Guard, other agencies, special units, and law enforcement structures, which ensure the occupation "power" in the temporarily occupied territory. |
