| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. Text taken from the V Kontakte page of Reports from the Novorossiya militia [VK] Note from the channel "Veteran's Notes" "Ukraine has begun forming new brigades for the offensive in 2025, and the Western paramilitary community is talking about this quite openly. The so-called "160th" brigades have begun forming as part of the Ground Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.series. They will recruit Ukrainian citizens living in Europe on a voluntary (and voluntary-compulsory) basis. For example, after the announcement of the creation of the "Ukrainian Legion" in Poland, information appeared that this legion will not act as an independent unit, but as a training hub, after which they will be distributed into new brigades. Training centers for the creation of the "160th brigades" will be deployed in Eastern and, probably, Western Europe. These same European countries will provide the brigades with weapons and ammunition at the place of formation (while the burden associated with the training of such units is removed from the USA and Great Britain). It is already known that the formation of the 160th separate mechanized brigade has begun somewhere on the territory of one of the NATO states. At the same time, the so-called "150th brigades", which were formed in 2023-2024 on Ukrainian territory, are already actively participating in hostilities along the entire front, including in the Kursk region. It is assumed that these two series of brigades will become the main component of mechanized formations after the currently existing mechanized brigades are defeated and exhausted in the battles of 2024.” |
