Russian forces have increased their use of drones on the battlefield, while reducing the involvement of personnel because of training issues, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

"As for the increased activity in Pokrovsk axis and generally in the south, it is there. The weather has changed, we understand that there is more drone use, but we see less use of personnel. We believe the enemy has problems. There are issues with the training of personnel," Zelenskyy told journalists during Bucha summit on Tuesday.

The president said Russian losses between January 1 and March 26 amounted to 89,000 personnel killed and seriously wounded. According to him, the enemy had planned to mobilize 409,000 people in 2026, of whom only 20% or 22% had been mobilized, which as of March amounted to 80,000.

Speaking about the situation on the front on Tuesday morning, Zelenskyy added that the situation was under control.
