The Russo-Ukrainian War has been fought for more than 20 days, and the Russian multi-way forces have begun a siege war against Kiev. Judging from this war, Russia has dispatched land, sea and air and missile forces, which can be said to be out of the nest. On the Russian Army side alone, there are 170 battalion-level combat units in the country, and 120 are in Ukraine this time. It accounts for 75% of the total number of Russian army. In addition, the most elite russian company, known as the "High Command Reserve", the 1st Guards Tank Army, the 20th Guards Army, and 22 battalion-level battle groups, all threw themselves into the Ukrainian battlefield. The Air Force directly dispatched the most advanced Su-34 fighter jets to join in.
Ukraine, on the other hand, had about 200,000 conventional troops before the Russian-Ukrainian war. That's added to Ukraine's own reserve force of close to a million. On the eve of the war, a large number of civilians were mobilized to join. At the beginning of the war, it was reasonable to say that the number of troops in the hands of Ukraine must have been more than 500,000. However, in all the Chinese and foreign reports, there is little mention of the regular Ukrainian army.
The videos we see every day are only small-scale firefights and sneak attacks. In the report, we also only see that ukraine seems to be the only Azov battalion in the fierce resistance. As for the regular armies of Ukraine, there was not a single engagement. It was as if the more than 200,000 regular troops had disappeared out of thin air. Even ukraine's newly established international volunteer army has stepped into the battlefield. And the more than 200,000 Ukrainian regular troops that disappeared still don't know where.
