The Russian invaders underestimated one point in planning their war of conquest. This is the resistance of the Ukrainian people.
British intelligence found that Russia underestimated the resistance of the Ukrainian people. The aggressor created his bloody plan “according to the best scenario”.
Such planning led to obvious operational errors, which prevented Putin from declaring a significant military success in Ukraine at the May 9 parade.
The fatal miscalculation of the invaders
In all likelihood, Russia's invasion plan was based on the mistaken assumption that it would meet limited resistance. The occupiers hoped to quickly encircle and bypass the settlements.
This prompted the Russian forces to take an easy approach during the first phase of the war. The Russians wanted a quick victory at minimal cost. This miscalculation led to exorbitant losses and further weakening of Russia's operational attention.
What is the situation at the front
Currently, the main battles are taking place in the East, in particular, in the Lugansk and Donetsk regions. The enemy is preparing to advance in the direction of Severodonetsk and Liman. The US State Department suggests that Russia wants to completely annex these 2 regions in order to get a land corridor to the occupied Crimea. The invaders are going to hold fictitious “referenda”, as they did in 2014.
The situation is also difficult on the territory of Azovstal in Mariupol. The Russians have already broken through to the territory of the plant, where there are heavy bloody battles. Our fighters courageously hold the defense, but they need immediate evacuation. There are about 500 wounded soldiers there, dying in great agony.
In addition, the Russians are trying to capture the Kherson region. The fighting continues in the Kharkov region, although they were somewhat pushed back from there. Also, the enemy launches missile strikes all over Ukraine. In particular, in recent days he has been actively shelling the Odessa region. Missiles arrive not only on military, but also on civilian infrastructure. There are dead and wounded.
