Serhiy Haidai says Russian reserves are being deployed ‘in our direction’ as they prepare for a ‘full-scale offensive’ this month
Russia almost certainly now lacks the munitions and manoeuvre units required for successful offensives, UK ministry of defence says
Russia leaders will continue to demand sweeping advances, but it remains unlikely that Russia can build up the forces needed to substantially affect the outcome of the war in the coming weeks, according to the UK ministry of defence’s latest intelligence update.
Russian forces have only managed to gain several hundred metres of territory per week. This is almost certainly because Russia now lacks the munitions and manoeuvre units required for successful offensives. Senior commanders likely make plans requiring undermanned, inexperienced units to achieve unrealistic objectives due to political and profession pressure.
