The Russian representative Yuri Ushakov, who is considered to be close to President Vladimir Putin, tells journalists from the West that the question of a future membership for Ukraine in the military alliance NATO is crucial. Russia completely opposes Ukrainian membership.

“American partners have confirmed their willingness to show consideration and take our key issues into account,” Ushakov tells, among others, AFP’s reporter.

Hello! I’m not entirely convinced that it’s about a reserve in the “usual sense”, but that it’s the GUR/SSO that always has a rear position (yes, sometimes forward). As a reserve, I would count units that are not in combat, during training, or during rotation. While the GUR/SSO is always more or less in combat, if not in constant readiness.

Does Ukraine have reserves other than special forces?

• Russian President Putin’s claim on December 2, 2025, that Russian Ground Forces (RGF) have taken complete control of the Ukrainian city of Pokrov is most likely incorrect. It is probable that Ukrainian forces still have a limited ability to carry out small-scale raids in the northern part of the city, counteracting Russian complete control and delaying Russian efforts to consolidate their position.
• RGF continues its intense efforts to encircle Pokrov, which previously served as a key Ukrainian logistics hub for operations in Donbas and is likely to remain Russia’s priority axis. Russian forces most likely occupy the majority of Pokrov and challenge control over the rest.
• Russian forces have suffered significant losses in offensive operations on the Pokrov axis for an extended period, likely resulting in more than 250,000 Russian soldiers being killed or missing (presumed dead) since Russia began its illegal, full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Ukrainian forces have continued to defend the city for several months, despite being outnumbered.

Oh my goodness, that is really bad and I actually didn’t think that would happen.

Now this reserve has been deployed.

They were going to get a beating!
