Over the past year, Russia has increased the number of its armed forces by 140,000.
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi stated this in an interview with war correspondent Andriy Tsaplienko, Ukrinform reports.
"The enemy is constantly increasing the number of its divisions. Over the past year alone, the enemy's grouping has increased by 140,000," Syrskyi said.
