Russia plans huge troop surge into Ukraine while Ukraine struggles with manpower and weapons

Russia is increasing the number of its frontline troops.

The Russo-Ukrainian war may have reached an important turning point, as Russia is increasing its manpower in the country while Ukrainians are running out of weapons and troops, Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet reports.

Russia has consistently reported that its troops are steadily pushing back Ukrainian forces, while Moscow will reinforce its troops with two new armies and 30 new formations by the end of the year.

Russia, which invaded Ukraine in 2022, withdrew some of its forces in the east and south during one period of the war, but has since been making slow but steady progress, especially after last year’s Ukrainian counteroffensive failed to produce significant results. Russia controls barely a fifth of Ukraine, and President Vladimir Putin ordered his troops to press on after Moscow seized the town of Avdiivka last month.
