The Central Intelligence Agency of Ukraine also informs that the command of the Russian Armed Forces is strengthening control in its units in the temporarily occupied territories.

Since the end of last week, an increase in the number of inspection groups of the highest military bodies of the Russian Armed Forces has been observed in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. Units of the occupying forces are tested for the ability to bring to a higher level of combat readiness with the implementation of marches to certain areas (landfills) and staffing.

At the same time, Russia reports the alleged completion of a number of military trainings. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, part of the contingent is returning to places of permanent deployment. However, this is not a completion of trainings.
