The Kremlin is planning a multi-front offensive in Ukraine early next year using 100 tactical battalions with an estimated 175,000 soldiers, along with armored vehicles, artillery and other equipment. The Washington Post wrote, citing US executives and unclassified US intelligence documents, including satellite images. The documents show the build-up of Russian forces in four locations along the Ukrainian border and the current presence of 50 tactical battalions. “Russian plans anticipate a military offensive against Ukraine in early 2022 with a scale of forces twice what we saw last spring during Russian rapid exercises near the Ukrainian border,” an executive stated below. He added that “the plans include expanded movements of 100 tactical battalions, with an estimated number of 175,000 soldiers, in addition to armored vehicles, artillery and other equipment.” However, the United States estimates that Moscow currently has 70,000 troops near the Ukrainian border, compared to about 94,000 soldiers reported by Kiev. The warning from American 007 comes on the eve of the upcoming virtual summit between Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin.
