In addition, enemy reserves are expected to be pulled up to the borders of Ukraine, Vadym Skibitsky, a spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, said on the telethon.
According to the Main Directorate of Intelligence , the first mobilization stage in Russia has been completed. According to Skibitsky, the procedures for coordinating, and conducting battalion and company exercises are now being completed in Russia, and by the beginning of 2023, they will already be ready for combat use.
"What do we expect? Firstly, this is the pulling up of the reserves of Russian troops to our borders. The introduction of new units into our territory and the introduction of part of the units of territorial troops. And we are already seeing this in the Kherson region. This is the continuation of offensive operations in certain areas, and the enemy's main goal will still be the complete capture of the Donetsk region and the retention of temporarily occupied territories that are now under the control of the Russian Federation," the intelligence official said.
