In comparison with the initial plan for 100 days, the army of the Russian Federation has not reached any of its strategic goals in Ukraine. This is stated in the daily report of British intelligence.
The department notes that the Russians failed to achieve their initial goals to seize Kyiv and the centers of the Ukrainian authorities. Thanks to the sustainable resistance of Ukrainians and the inability of Russians, to protect the GOSTEL airfield in the first 24 hours, the offensive operation of the Russian Federation was discouraged.
After the failure of the initial plan through erroneous assumptions when planning and poor tactical implementation of the Russian Federation, the Russian Federation adapted its operational plan and focused all the attention in the Donbass.
“Russia is now achieving tactical success in the Donbass, Russian troops have created and retained the impulse and now, it seems, possess the initiative over Ukrainian resistance. The Russian troops control more than 90% of the Luhansk region and will probably establish full control in the next two weeks”, – They think to the Ministry of Defense of Britain.
These recent tactical successes of the Russian Federation became possible due to significant losses of resources and due to the concentration of forces and fire on one part of the common campaign, the department notes.
At the same time, Russia could not create a maneuver or movement on other fronts or directions and was forced to move on to defense.
“compared to the initial plan of Russians, not one of their strategic goals has been achieved. In order for the Russian Federation to achieve at least some success, it will need constant large investments and equipment, and this will probably require a significant time “, – noted in intelligence.
