NEW DELHI: In a significant escalation, Russia has deployed over 500,000 troops along the Ukrainian border, a move analysts describe as a direct attempt to overwhelm Ukrainian defenses. The dramatic increase in troop numbers places immense pressure on Ukraine, which relies heavily on Western support.
Dr Jack Watling of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) emphasized the gravity of the situation, saying, “The Russian forces have now expanded to 510,000 troops.The outlook for Ukraine is bleak. Its allies must replenish stockpiles.” This stark assessment underscores the urgent need for continued and enhanced support from Western allies to sustain Ukraine’s resistance.
