“A large number of Russian ground forces may be tied to Ukraine at the moment, but even so, we should not underestimate the potential of Russian ground forces to open a second theater of war,” Reuters quoted him as saying.
Zorn added that the Russian navy has not been deployed to the conflict in Ukraine, and the air force "has significant potential."
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that on August 29, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, on the direct orders of President Volodymyr Zelensky, tried to launch an offensive in the Nikolaev and Kherson regions, but as a result of the active defense of the group of Russian troops, Ukrainian units suffered heavy losses.
In particular, the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in manpower amounted to more than 560 servicemen.
