"These figures are relative. There is no particular reason to be concerned about this figure of 90,000. 90,000 in Zaporizhzhia region in the area related to the OTU Zaporizhzhia - this is the entire operational depth of Russian defence in Zaporizhzhia region, where they have their own fortifications, where they have cities, ports, occupied Melitopol, Berdiansk, this is not a group that is concentrating for an offensive. There are no signs of the formation of an offensive group of Russians in Zaporizhzhia region, nor in Kherson region," said Lykhoviy.
According to him, the enemy is rotating its personnel.
