Russia has been forced to redeploy its forces in northeastern Ukraine after a failed offensive in the region, according to the British Ministry of Defense, according to Reuters, citing BTA.
Russia continues to face significant difficulties and “has been forced to regroup and redeploy the scattered units left after a failed offensive in northeastern Ukraine.” Many servicemen “probably suffer from a decrease in morale,” according to an analysis by the military department.
Russia hopes to “solve the problems that have so far prevented its invasion by” geographically concentrating its fighting forces, reducing supply lines and simplifying command and control. ”
Despite improvements in some places, “the lack of skills in combat units and sustained air support have not allowed Russia to take full advantage of its military weight,” British intelligence added.
