Despite large losses, Russia is recruiting more and more soldiers, warns Ukraine's military chief Oleksandr Syrskyj.
The Russian forces are being expanded by 9,000 men every month, writes Syrskyj in a statement. Russia is aiming for ten new divisions before the end of the year, of which two have already been formed, he adds.
"Therefore, we have no other choice but to continue the mobilization measures, improve combat training and strengthen the unmanned part of our forces", he writes.
