Two More Ukrainian Air Assault Brigades Have Joined The Invasion Of Russia. With the air assault reinforcements, the Ukrainian invasion corps now includes some or all of six front-line brigades plus two independent battalions and supporting forces. Possibly close to 15,000 troops in all.

Note how the 47th, the 3rd or Azov are not employed. This indicates the breadth of combat ready UA forc3s.
christ that is a decent amount. Definitely not enough to travel and fight the full length and breadth of Russia but damn sight enough to do damage.
Well if it were me I would be sending the largest contingent to cut off Belgorod from the north/northwest.
I’ll take 15,000 crack Ukrainian troops with a full logistic train and fully equipped over whatever the Russians throw at them any day.
It seems with this many troops and so much terrain it’s more than just a diversion. Is there anything of value in this region (militarily) which they should be pushing towards? My mind goes to any established military bases and to capture them for repurpose with Ukrainian artillery and anti-air to provide a buffer between Ukraine and any Russian military.
What else is in this area?

Holy moly. Ukraine ain’t messing around. I wonder if they will pump those numbers up even more in the near future.
What are those anti putin Russians up to these days? I thought the legion and the rvc would be running all over belgorod by now.
gl, ua boys
OPSEC! Keep info like unit sizes and troop movements zipped. 🤐🤫
Will they go all in?
St. Michael the Archangel be with you.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia managed to nuke it’s own territory to stop the Ukraine advance.
Russia is a joke. No defense of their own border. Ukraine could set up and hold them off for months, bleed them dry as they have to meat wave to regakn their own territory.
At the same time, they could do this again elsewhere and keep opening new fronts.
They could also expand this invasion front for miles in both directions, taking valuable conscripts captive along the whole front. Amazing to see.
german invasion, 3.5 miliion men covered 1 .6 million sq klicks ,3 men per sq klick..
ukraine 15000 men for 1000 sq klicks is 15 men per sq klick
I like how each day this is turning into a more of an unmitigated disaster for Putin than it was the day before.
Godspeed.
I imagine a tonne of brigades want to go because it sounds fucking hilarious and almost like a field trip- When compared to defending trenches in the Donbas.
Godspeed you crazy devils. Give them hell.
The sole fact thar 100 000 or wharever had to evacuate and now can not get back might explode i pootins face
How did the Russians not see 15000 troops amassing on the borders before this happened. I know they are focused on the frontlines, but they have military satellites just like the nato forces. Good for Ukraine for doing something unexpected. I just don’t understand Russia.
Hopefully Ukraine has a plan to halt the Russian offensive towards Pokrovsk. I’m not sure taking territory in Kursk is worth it if those forces are needed to stop the Donetsk frontline from collapsing.
Wow!
Would love to see even more Ukrainian Troops ….if that is possible with current troop levels!
That will somehow shift the battlefields into ruzzia’s own backyard, the population will see first hand the horrors of war that they were shielded from by propaganda and restrictions.
Nobody really knows anything. Great opsec on Ukrainian side.
So they pretty much have the equivalent of an entire infantry division in Russia 😳 that’s a serious force
