Literally a day after Russian troops left the city of Kherson, the Russian Ministry of Defense published video images of soldiers mobilized for training on Saturday, The Guardian notes.

The clip, filmed in the Stavropol Territory, shows how Russian recruits are trained to use drones to conduct reconnaissance and adjust artillery and mortar fire.

In Russia, the Ministry of Defense declares that “the mobilized have increased their qualifications”, and the recruits are called “indispensable professionals”.

Military analysts assume that Russia will face the problem of defending its positions in Ukraine with the help of newly recruited forces.

Another video shows Russian troops taking part in artillery and combat training at a military training ground in Belarus.

Belarus is a close ally of Russia and was the launching pad for Russia’s failed attempt to capture Kyiv in the early days of the invasion.
