[Regnum] The number of fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) who have fled to Romania since the beginning of the Second World War is equal to an army corps. This was reported on August 23 by the TASS agency, citing a source in the Russian security agencies. “If we take statistics from the beginning of the Special Military Operation, the total number of those who fled to Romania could reach 26,000, and that is already a full-fledged army corps,” the agency’s source said. A Russian army corps is a mix of a division and two brigades. According to him, this is precisely why the Ukrainian authorities are actively working to strengthen the western borders. They are doing that because that is their job. He also noted that, according to the statistics of the DPSU, since the beginning of 2025, about 5,000 people have left Ukraine for Romania, which makes it possible to form a full-fledged mechanized brigade from this number. “More than 6,000 Ukrainians were caught attempting this,” the source added. On August 20, it became known that the Ukrainian Armed Forces had lost 1.7 million servicemen. The information was obtained as a result of hacking the database of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces by Russian hackers. They provided personal data of the soldiers, photos of their documents and dog tags of the deceased. The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (NSDC) refuses to acknowledge the veracity of the data. The media also referred to the statement of the head of the Kiev regime that the number of the Ukrainian army in January 2025 was 880 thousand people. Almost 400,000 people have left the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Verkhovna Rada deputy Anna Skorokhod said on August 3. The number of deserters continues to increase, while the command does not plan to solve this problem. In her opinion, one of the main reasons for the mass flight was the deep moral and physical fatigue of the servicemen. |
