“We already see that in the temporarily occupied territories of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, almost all the male population has been mobilised. According to our assessment, after the annexation of the occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, the mobilization will be also announced there,” a DIU representative said this to ‘The Guardian’ in an interview.

According to Vadym Skibitskyi, Ukraine's task is to inflict russia's greatest losses on the battlefield, which, along with sanctions and political isolation, will have an impact on the russian economy and society.

Also, the representative of Ukraine’s military intelligence put the threat of russia using tactical weapons against Ukraine at “very high”.

“Strikes will likely target places along the frontlines where lots of personal and equipment are deployed, key command centres and critical infrastructure. In order to stop them we need not just more anti-aircraft systems, but anti-rocket systems,” the representative of Ukraine’s military intelligence noted.
