This is what's being played on a speaker system inside a public bus in the Russian city of Belgorod, which came under drone attack today:
"Warning! Warning! Ukraine is threatening us with nuclear strikes."

Прошёл очередной обмен 84 на 84, в том числе были освобождены гражданские заложники, удерживаемые рашистами ещё с 2014-2017 года

- What can we expect in the coming weeks?
- I assume that the Russians will continue to slowly bleed out the Ukrainians in order to open the front and further accelerate their advance west and north towards Kramatorsk and Slovyansk. For now, our main scenario is that what Russian troops are currently doing will not change.
Of course, if any more concrete data regarding a larger deployment of forces emerges, we will update our scenarios on an ongoing basis. The situation is dynamic.

- How many Russian troops are there right now?
- Around 650,000, with around 40,000 that arrived since January. The Russians are capable of regenerating losses very quickly. Withdrawing a company or battalion that has suffered several dozen percent losses and rebuilding its personnel can take a maximum of two weeks.

- So there are no signs that this "human river" of Russians will somehow stop?
- Absolutely not. Experts in Ukraine estimate that the Russians will be able to maintain their current recruitment pace at least until the end of this year. Some also estimate that this won't be a problem until at least mid-2026. This will depend on the state of the Russian economy. The pace of creating new units and rebuilding existing ones will be maintained, even though losses on the frontline could be very high.

- How does their recruitment mechanism work?
- One stream is still based on volunteers, meaning those seeking a substantial bonus for enlisting in the military. They receive this bonus, undergo training lasting from several days to several weeks, and are then assigned to a specific unit. We don't know if they undergo additional training within their unit—this is the case on the Ukrainian side. Generally, Russians who enlist in the military are deployed to the front within a few weeks at most.
Ukrainian soldiers told us that sometimes such a person dies on the frontline just days after signing a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. A short training period certainly doesn't prepare them for what will happen on the front in Ukraine.
The second stream, which we don't really know much about, but certainly exists, is young Russians who are conscripted in Russia and who are forced through beatings and various forms of torture to sign contracts.
