The Russians did not properly prepare for the offensive. Therefore, it was easy to interrupt their supply chains.
Russia did not create strike groups until February 24
As of February 24, the Russians had not formed shock groups in the full sense of military art. they did not show signs of the completed formation of a large-scale strike force, the report says.
Reznikov said that an attack force for an offensive requires certain signs: command and control agencies, hospitals, supply chains, strike groups, and so on. But the Russians did not have such signs.
That is, the Russians really went on the attack not quite ready. The consequence of this was the consistent de-occupation by us of the Kiev, Chernihiv and Sumy regions.
The Ukrainian military leadership was most struck by the fact that the Russians violated their own instructions and rules. According to the rules, first the artillery works out the territory, then the tanks go, and then the infantry.
But they were so convinced that they would take us in a hurry that they left the artillery behind them and the tanks and Armored personnel carriers went to Brovary to capture Kyiv. And they also brought full dress uniforms with them, – said the Minister of Defense.
Reznikov noted that it took the Russians time to form the final strike force – another 1 – 3 weeks.
