Russian Army

The Russian Army is the land force component of the Russian Armed Forces, responsible for ground-based military operations. It's currently newsworthy due to its ongoing involvement in the war in Ukraine. Recent events include Russia claiming to have seized the village of Dibrova in Donetsk, while also launching numerous assaults that have failed to break through Ukrainian front lines. The army is also deploying a satellite constellation, Rassvet, to replace Starlink for secure communication. A Russian military transport plane crashed in Crimea, resulting in 29 fatalities. Furthermore, the army is recruiting, with even elderly Russian officials signing up for combat. The army's actions have led to accusations of massacres, such as in Butscha, where EU foreign ministers recently commemorated the victims. The Russian Army's performance and strategies are crucial to understanding the dynamics and potential outcomes of the conflict in Ukraine.
