Intelligence found that Russia is cutting supply lines/Channel 24 Collage
< strong _ngcontent-sc86="">Russia's plans for a quick takeover of Ukraine have failed to smithereens. The Kremlin now hopes to correct the problems that prevented this intention.
Russian troops have a lot of problems – intelligence
British intelligence has established that Russia wants to geographically advantageously deploy its combat power. The aggressor state believes that this will help it break up the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The military-political leadership of Russia wants to shorten supply lines and simplify command and control.
Russia still faces serious problems. She was forced to unite and redeploy exhausted and scattered units in unsuccessful offensives in the north-east of Ukraine, the report says.
Many of these units are demotivated. After failure, their morale is weakened. Therefore, no one is in a hurry to go to war against Ukraine.
British intelligence noted that the shortcomings of Russian tactical coordination remain. Despite local improvements, Russia was never able to use its combat mass. And all because of the lack of skills at the unit level and intermittent air support.
What is known about the situation at the front
According to the General Staff, the Russians are still trying to go on the offensive, but they nothing succeeds. The Russian army did not succeed in any direction. Now the hot spots are Donbass, Zaporozhye and the area near Izyum.
As of April 30, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already liquidated 23,200 enemy soldiers. The enemy suffered the greatest losses in the Izyum direction.
