Russian Defense Minister “Plans to form new large-scale troops this year”. British Ministry of Defense says that while Russia has been successful in recruiting soldiers, it is facing difficulties in training and lack of equipment to form troops.

The Ukrainian Air Force announced on the 26th that the Russian military launched an attack with 12 drones and shot down the aircraft. The attack is said to have taken place, and fighting between the two sides continues. Last month, President Putin signed a presidential decree establishing the Moscow Military District, which includes the capital Moscow.
