There are signs that the war in Ukraine is contributing to this shortage, the British said. Shortly following the partial mobilization in September 2022, up to two percent of Russian medical and health personnel left the country to avoid being called up. In addition, up to 3,000 medical personnel have likely been mobilized to assist with medical care at the front.

Update from February 11th, 12:20 p.m.: The restructuring of the Ukrainian military leadership continues: President Volodymyr Zelenskyj has appointed the former Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Pavlyuk as the new commander of the land forces. The presidential office published a corresponding decree today.
Pavlyuk succeeds Colonel General Olexander Syrsky, who was appointed the new commander-in-chief of the armed forces a few days ago. Zelensky exchanged several other high-ranking military officers, including in the territorial defense and airborne troops.
On Thursday (February 8), Zelensky dismissed Valeriy Zalushny as the previous commander in chief of the armed forces.

Russia’s air force stumbles following important strike in Ukraine – British expect fatal mistakes
Sevastopol – A strike by Ukraine once morest the Russian Belbek air base on the Crimean peninsula might have serious consequences for Russia. This is what the British secret service writes in a current situation assessment on X (formerly Twitter). The attack hit the bunker of a radar control system that coordinates the Russian army’s air force. The Ukrainian attack might potentially cause pilots in Russia’s air force to make mistakes, it is said.

“It is almost certain that Russia’s ability to coordinate its activities in the Black Sea region is declining,” writes the British Ministry of Defense regarding the serious attack on the Russian radar system in Crimea. Although the Russian Defense Ministry claimed following the attack on January 31 that it had prevented the Ukrainian attack in Crimea and shot down all 20 of Ukraine’s missiles, at least the radar site bunker was apparently hit. It is said that the burden on the already heavily used combat aircraft fleet will increase even further.
The airfield is actually considered to be well defended once morest Ukraine attacks during the war
The Russian Air Force is extremely dependent on ground control stations to coordinate its resources and attacks, the intelligence report added. If Ukraine succeeds in carrying out more such attacks in Crimea, the British say this would certainly have an even more massive impact on Russia’s pilots.
The Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Post reported following the attack “perhaps the most ambitious and complex Ukrainian airstrike of the war to date.” The Belbek military air base is the most developed and supposedly best defended Russian air base in the Black Sea region.
Ukraine reports new Russian drone attacks

The regions affected were Odessa, Kherson, Mykolaiv and Kiev, among others.
In Kiev, which is well equipped with air defense systems thanks to Western help, all drones might have been shot down in time, it was said. According to the authorities, there were no casualties or damage there. There was initially no information regarding the attacks on other parts of the country.
