Ukraine has stationed about half of its army, amounting to well over 100,000 troops, in the war-torn Donbas region, a conflict zone in eastern Ukraine, a Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman alleged on Wednesday.
“According to some reports, the number of troops … in the conflict zone already reaches 125,000 people, and this, if anyone does not know, is half of the entire composition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” Maria Zakharov said during a news conference in Moscow, RT reported.
