Ukraine's Counteroffensive and Russia's Preparations: Latest Updates.

Ukraine has formed eight new "storm" brigades comprising up to 40,000 troops to take part in a future counteroffensive against Russian invaders. The troops will be re-equipped and trained for two to three weeks before being ready to take part in fighting. The US estimated that more than 20,000 Russian soldiers had been killed and more than 80,000 injured in just five months of fighting in Ukraine, mostly around Bakhmut. Russia rejected the claim, saying the figure had been "plucked from thin air".

Ukraine trains massive 'storm brigades' to counter Russian threat.

Ukraine is training eight new 'storm brigades' totaling 40,000 soldiers as part of a counter-offensive plan against Russia. The new soldiers are being trained in target practice, flying drones, and rescuing injured soldiers. The recruitment campaign for new brigades began in February, and it will take up to four months to train those without any previous military experience. The new military units will fight with the Ukrainian army, and a counter-offensive operation is considered crucial for Ukraine.

Ukraine Trains Massive Counter-Offensive Storm Brigade

Ukraine has trained 40,000 soldiers in eight new storm brigades to use during a counter-offensive against Russian occupiers in the coming weeks or months. The brigades, drafted by the Interior Ministry, will fight alongside regular army units bolstered by new Western battle tanks and thousands of fresh troops trained by allied armies outside Ukraine. The units have benefited from an aggressive recruiting campaign on social media and billboards with the aim of attracting highly motivated volunteers.
