Russia/Ukraine – As Russian Military Prepares for Zapad 2021, Heavy Armed Forces Stay Close to Ukraine (Roger McDermott, The Jamestown Foundation)

July 1, 2021

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu later announced that these units were ordered back to their bases. However, it quickly became apparent that more than 80 percent of the personnel involved, along with their heavy equipment, remained in position (see EDM, May 12).
