"By most accounts, a shock force of 10 to 15 Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) brigades, or between 15,000 to 30,000 soldiers, has either been recently pulled off the fighting line, is resting and recuperating, or is finishing up training at bases in NATO states, and preparing to take part in the biggest-ever massed attack attempted by the Ukrainian army," the Kyiv Post has reported, citing several military experts.
