Quote: "We have calculated everything: the number of personnel who are in brigades on average at positions and the availability of personnel deployed to the area of the ground operation. There are a large number of service members in combat areas... We have all the conditions to create three shifts and ensure the training of the shift that will replace others during rotation."
