The head of the Russian General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, confirmed that Russia is facing almost the entire West in the special military operation in Ukraine.

The Russian news agency Sputnik quoted Gerasimov as saying, in press statements, "Modern Russia has never known such a level and intensity of hostilities.

He added that his country and its armed forces are almost facing the collective West."

Gerasimov explained that in order to stabilize the situation, protect new areas and carry out offensive operations, the Russian General Staff had to carry out partial mobilization as such events have not occurred since the Great Patriotic War, that is, World War II.

The senior military official in Russian noted that the General Staff is now taking all measures to achieve the goals of the special operation set by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, as well as to ensure the country's military security, on the basis of existing military threats.

And the Russian Ministry of Defense had announced, earlier, the appointment of the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, Valery Gerasimov, as commander of the Russian joint forces group within the framework of the special military operation in Ukraine.
