US commander estimates nearly three-quarters of Russian forces are dedicated to Ukraine

Gen. Tod Wolters, head of U.S. European Command, said Tuesday that Russia has devoted the vast majority of its military personnel to the invasion of Ukraine.

During a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, Sen. Angus King, D-Maine, noted the large number of Russian reserves committed to the cause, and he asked Wolters what portion of the Russian military was now involved in the invasion.

"What portion of their entire military force, in terms of people, have been committed to Ukraine at this point, and what level of reserves do they have to call upon?" King asked.

"In a different setting I can give you a precise number, but in the 70 to 75% category are devoted to this from a Russian perspective, at this time," Wolters estimated.
