Ukraine is set to establish additional military brigades as Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky cautions that Russia may intensify its military efforts in the northern region. He indicated that Moscow's strategy could extend the active frontline by approximately 160 kilometers, or 99 miles, rendering mere reinforcement of current units inadequate. Syrsky further noted that Russia plans to form new divisions and five brigades within this year. This warning coincides with reports of increased Kremlin influence on Belarus to permit a greater Russian military presence. Kyiv's preparations reflect escalating fears regarding a broader northern threat.
