Russia has almost completed preparations for a new massive attack. The enemy is likely to focus on energy and transport infrastructure, including airfields, LB's sources in the Defence Forces said. It is worth noting that the enemy's readiness to launch strikes is observed every week, and energy and transport infrastructure have long been its targets.
Last week, the enemy conducted training flights of Tu-160 aircraft in a format close to practising strikes on Ukraine. This indicates that the Russians may be preparing to use such aircraft for strikes.
The risk of damage to ground targets on the territory of Ukraine, in particular to Kyiv and regional centres in the northern and western regions, remains at the same level.
In general, the enemy is actively building up the ground capabilities of its army and deploying troops, weapons and equipment to the occupied territory. It conducts manoeuvres between operational areas and builds up defence capabilities in the occupied territory. During the week, the enemy carried out an average of 90 combat sorties of tactical/army aviation daily and shelled up to 1300 settlements (some of them repeatedly).
There is also evidence of changes in the composition of the enemy group. From the Prydniprovskyy direction, the enemy moved the 810th Separate Marine Brigade to Donetsk Region - it was included in the operational reserve of the Centre group.
The 325th Regiment of the Moscow Military District was also transferred from the operational reserve to the Kupyansk direction.
Taking into account the changes, Ukraine estimates that the ground grouping of the Russian armed forces is up to 524,000. In addition, the enemy's National Guard is up to 35,800.
