Russians lack military equipment, so they throw people at the front
Hanna Maliar, Ukrainian Deputy Defence Minister, has said that the Russian military command does not have the necessary amount of technically ready military equipment, so it is "inundating" the battlefield with "human resources".

Quote: "As of 10 January this year, about 280 formations are operating as part of the Russian occupation forces, taking into account the operational reserve (last week the figure was 250).
The enemy is rotating units as part of a regional group of troops (forces) on the territory of the Republic of Belarus.
The situation in the areas of combat operations remains difficult.
In the absence of the necessary amount of technically ready military equipment, the Kremlin is actively using human resources to achieve success on the battlefield."
Details: Maliar reports that according to Ukrainian Defence Intelligence, Russia is strengthening its troop grouping in Ukraine.
The invaders are, in particular moving those mobilised from the training grounds of Belarus and Russia to the combat zone and border areas.
The Russians are also continuing to focus their main efforts in Donetsk Oblast: "The greatest activity of the enemy is observed on the Bakhmut, Lyman and Avdiivka fronts."
