According to British military experts, the Russian armed forces are now relying on the help of Belarusian trainers on a large scale for recruit training. This emerges from the daily intelligence update from the Ministry of Defense in London on Thursday. According to this, thousands of Russian recruits are being prepared for a mission by the Belarusian military. The background is a lack of Russian trainers, many of whom were deployed during the invasion of Ukraine or died there. This is an indication of how strained the Russian armed forces are now, the British statement continued.
The British Ministry of Defense has published daily information on the course of the war since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine at the end of February, citing intelligence information. In doing so, the British government wants to both counter the Russian portrayal and keep allies in line. Moscow accuses London of a targeted disinformation campaign.
