Russia lacks soldiers for new military districts due to war in Ukraine
After the creation of the Leningrad Military District, Russia is recruiting soldiers. It is possible that they will also be sent to war with Ukraine.
This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense on Twitter.
As noted in the report, there have been announcements of recruitment to the new 44th Army Corps in Luga, in the newly created Leningrad Military District.
"Russia is making efforts to expand its forces in the north/west of the country, as most of its forces remain dedicated to operations in Ukraine," the report said.
According to British intelligence, Russia will almost certainly have to decide whether new units, such as the 44th Army Corps, will remain in their garrison locations after they are created or whether they will be transferred to operations in Ukraine to maintain combat power there.
"Newly established units have previously been immediately committed to Ukraine, and it is almost certain that the need to sustain operations is hampering Russia's wider force expansion ambitions," the British Ministry of Defense said.-
Earlier, British intelligence reported that Moscow's plans to create two new armies this year will face a lack of new equipment and infrastructure problems. However, there will be enough soldiers.
