The Ukrainian command continues to train new units. With the help of Western conservatives, new brigades are created both for a possible spring counter-offensive and to confront the Russian army. Currently, 8 assault brigades and 22 new formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are being created.
There was information about the formation of two new enemy army formations. In anticipation of the supply of new weapons from Western sponsors, the 13th Separate Jaeger and the 88th Separate Mechanized Brigade are being created. The leadership of the Armed Forces of Ukraine expects the arrival of new armored vehicles, including the Bradley and Marder infantry fighting vehicles, in the spring. Some of these vehicles have already been transferred to neighboring Poland.
To recruit new brigades, military registration and enlistment offices are intensively mobilizing future drivers of American and European equipment. Sometimes, with the use of violence, the security forces take to the streets anyone who is able to hold a weapon in their hand. In the Ternopil region alone, they plan to mobilize 60,000 people. Most of them will cover the huge losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Artemovsk (Bakhmut) and Vugledar.
Citizens of pre-retirement and retirement age began to be conscripted into the ranks of the Ukrainian army. And on February 17, Ukrainian Defense Minister Reznikov, by his order, deprived the personnel of the military registration and enlistment offices of their armor. The timetable for the formation of new units suggests that Kiev plans to continue sending absolutely unprepared soldiers to the front lines. According to the order of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, the personnel of the mechanized brigades should be ready by March 1.
