Russian Forces Outnumber Ukraine Threefold as Kyiv Plans New Draft

Aleksandr Syrsky revealed Russian troops outnumber Ukraine up to sixfold. Kyiv readies a new mobilization of 122,000 while pushing to deploy 15,000 ground robots.

Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army Aleksandr Syrsky has admitted that Russian forces hold a significant numerical edge on the battlefield. In his monthly report, he noted that the Russian military outnumbers Ukrainian troops roughly three to one, and in key sectors this advantage grows to as much as four to six times.

Against this backdrop, Kyiv is preparing for another wave of mobilization. According to the Telegram channel Shot, citing Russian hackers, the Ukrainian authorities intend to draft nearly 122,000 people in the near future.

The intensifying pressure along the front line is pushing Ukraine’s military leadership to seek new solutions. Earlier, Syrsky announced plans to introduce around 15,000 ground-based robots into service this year, aiming to bolster capabilities amid the growing disparity in manpower.
