Russia’s disregard of Ukrainian resistance caused major operational failures by Russian forces, which prevented President Vladimir Putin from declaring a military success in his speech at the “Victory Day” celebrations in Moscow, the UK Ministry of Defense assesses. .
In a bulletin released on Tuesday (10), British intelligence said that it is very likely that the Russian plan to invade Ukraine was based on the mistaken assumption that it would meet limited resistance and would be able to quickly surround and conquer important population centers. .
Such an assumption by Russia led its Armed Forces to try to carry out the initial phase of the conflict with a light and precise approach, with the aim of achieving a quick victory and with minimal financial and human costs.
But, according to the UK, the Russian miscalculation in its initial performance led to unsustainable losses and a reduction in Russia’s operational focus.
As reported on Monday by British intelligence, the longer-than-expected duration of the conflict has led Russian forces to expand the use of older and less accurate artillery, which increases the risk of civilian casualties.
