Russia's nuclear forces deployed as infantry in Donetsk

Russia has deployed personnel from its Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN) as infantry in the Donetsk region of Ukraine, according to open-source intelligence. This unusual move involves troops overseeing nuclear weapons engaging in frontline combat near Toretsk. Reports indicate that many of these troops are now missing. The redeployment suggests Russia is expanding its mobilization efforts to address significant troop losses in Ukraine, potentially compromising security around its nuclear infrastructure. The 12th Main Directorate, responsible for nuclear logistics, has been linked to a new regiment operating in the Toretsk area. This marks a shift in military strategy, as personnel from nuclear security units are now involved in direct combat roles.
