Russia shows no signs it plans to wind down its war in Ukraine, with an estimated 695,000 troops deployed across an expanded front line and another 121,000 in strategic reserve, according to Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi.

Separately, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, posting on X and Telegram, said Kyiv “has evidence” that Russia is “preparing new military operations on European territory,” citing a report by Ukraine’s defense intelligence chief but providing no additional detail. “We will keep our partners informed.”
