British intelligence assessed the failure of Putin in Ukraine

This is stated in the next British intelligence report , published on May 10 by the country's Ministry of Defense. Russia's underestimation of Ukrainian resistance and its "best-case" planning led to apparent operational setbacks by preventing President Putin from declaring a significant military success in Ukraine at the May 9 Victory Day parade, the statement said. It is noted that the Russian invasion plan was based on the erroneous assumption that the Ukrainians would offer limited resistance, so the Russian Federation would be able to quickly surround and bypass settlements. This assumption led the Russian forces to try to conduct the initial phase of the operation with an easy, precise approach designed to achieve an early victory at minimal cost, the British Ministry of Defense said. But the miscalculation led to unbearable losses and a further reduction in Russia's operational focus. --- The version of the TG channel of the Social Portal in English is open.Russian version of Socportal TG channel. https://t.me/Socportal_in_English
