Now there are about three thousand professional Russian military personnel in Donbass. These are officers who assist local commanders.
This was stated by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ruslan Khomchak, in an interview with “Facts”.
He noted that the Ukrainian intelligence owns such data.
“According to intelligence, no more than three thousand. These are officer-instructors and officers who help local commanders. The highest rank we know of is Major General of the Russian Armed Forces Yakubov,” Khomchak said.
Earlier it was reported that, according to Ukrainian intelligence, the number of militant troops in Donbas is about 35.5 thousand people. The militants are up to 80 percent staffed.
We will recall, the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin previously confirmed the influence on the militants in the Donbass. The Kremlin said it has some influence over the “self-proclaimed republics.”
RBK-Ukraine wrote that the Russian Federation continues to supply weapons and military equipment to Donbass.
