The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, has stated that Russia, in fact, has already started additional military mobilization in order to replenish its own army at the front. According to him, the enemy is increasing the volume of enlistment in different ways and intends to involve foreigners more actively. Zelensky promised to inform the authorities of the countries from where Russia is recruiting people for the war, so that they can prevent it. He also noted that according to the latest data of the Main Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, North Korea is going to send another 10,000 soldiers to Russia, in addition to the more than 8,000 already there. According to Zelensky, the Kremlin "pays" for this with technologies including: for example, in exchange for such support, the production of Shahed type attack UAVs was launched in the DRC. In this regard, the President of Ukraine called on the allies, including the USA and the EU, to intensify the sanctions pressure on Russia. Yesterday, Robert Brovdi, the commander of the UAV forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, announced that the Kremlin had started a "secret military gathering". According to him, around 300 thousand recruits will be sent to war against Ukraine by the end of the year. "We expect that from next month the enemy's manpower on the front will increase significantly," said Brovdi. According to his assessment, Russian President Vladimir Putin will try to act as quickly as possible, because he intends to occupy Donbas by spring, so the new recruits will be sent to the front line without proper preparation. In mid-September, the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) stated that Russia could deploy North Korean troops near Sumy and Kharkiv to free up its own forces and intensify the pressure on Donbass. . At the beginning of autumn, the Russian troops were forced to leave the 240 km² area near Liman, from where they planned to attack the zone of "city-fortresses" in the Donetsk region. As a result of the 4-month-long counterattack by the Ukrainian forces, the Russian army failed to encircle the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration from the north. As a result, the territorial gains of Russia since the beginning of March are not complete. have been reduced.
