Overall, approximately 40 thousands prorussian troops has been formed in occupied Donbas, amongst them 5 thousands are Russian regular troops. About this data told Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak in an interview with Ukraine TV Channel 5.

"In fact, the situation was quite tense and serious in the Donbas conflict zone this year. This was due to the formation of the Russian grouping in the Anti-Terrorist Operation zone.

As of today, there are about 40,000 servicemen there, of which 5,000 are regular Russian troops," he said. According to Poltorak, Russia has massed about 600 tanks, 1,300 combat vehicles, 860 artillery systems and 300 multiple launch rocket systems in the temporarily occupied territories of Donbas.

"Of course, with this military build-up, it was very difficult to talk about peace, especially with those who do not wish to fulfill the Minsk agreements or is very aggressively against Ukraine," he said.
