According to the information of the military expert and adviser to the head of the President's Office, Oleksiy Arestovych, there are already about 10,000 Russians in Ukraine who were drafted into the army as part of the so-called "partial mobilization."

He said this in a conversation with Russian blogger and human rights defender Mark Feigin. 

According to him, the military leadership of the Russian Federation in the Kherson region is trying to replenish the battle formations of the Russian army, which are thinned by the strikes of the Ukrainian aviation and artillery, by sending recently mobilized citizens to the front.

"The mobilized have caught up with a sufficiently large number. It is already measured in thousands. In total, about 10,000 have already been mobilized. Maybe even more, because there are enough of them arriving every day," Arestovych said.

In addition to the Kherson region, the Russians are trying to "strengthen" the Svatov direction of the front with ill-prepared fighters.

"These are the two main zones of hostilities, where combat density is created," the expert explained.

According to the information provided by Arestovych, many of the mobilized have already died or been wounded.

"We are talking about dozens. The first coffins have already arrived in Russia. There are already many mobilized prisoners, at least 20 men," he noted.

We will remind you that mobilized Russians enter the war in Ukraine without the necessary training and weapons, many of them are thinking about the possibility of being captured by entire units.
