Russians transferred 2,000 soldiers to Ukraine from the occupied territories of Georgia. New wave of mobilization is planned in Luhansk region - General Staff

The General Staff shared operational information on Facebook.

"In order to recruit the armed forces of the Russian Federation, from the occupied territories of Georgia, units of the 4th (Tskhinvali region, South Ossetia) and 7th (Abkhazia) military bases, which are part of the Southern Military District, were transferred to the territory of Ukraine. From the 4th military base, three armored personnel carriers with a total number of up to 1,200 Russian and Ossetian military personnel were formed and sent to Ukraine. Two armored personnel carriers were formed from the units of the 7th military base, and this is about 800 people", the General Staff said in a statement.

In the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions, the invader continues to commit illegal actions against the local population. In the settlement of Velyka Bilozirka, units of the Russian invaders dispersed throughout the settlement and placed equipment between residential buildings.

In the city of Melitopol, the invaders set up roadblocks on the outskirts of the city and strengthened the bypass regime.

"The invaders continue to rob houses and apartments of residents, detain pro-Ukrainian activists and employees of state bodies of Ukraine", the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted.

In the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region, the occupying authorities plan to conduct another wave of mobilization from April 1 this year. It is possible that there will be such attempts in the recently occupied territories of the region.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue to experience problems with the staffing of units.  Conscripts of the 26th tank regiment from the 47th tank division, who signed contracts after their participation in the war with Ukraine, began to file reports with a request to terminate the contract and send them to a permanent deployment point for further service.

The grouping of the Joint Forces in the Donetsk and Luhansk directions over the past day repulsed 4 attacks of the Russian invaders. Our soldiers destroyed 7 tanks, 7 armored vehicles, 2 vehicles and an anti-tank gun. The invader also suffered losses in manpower.
