“The offensive of the Russian troops in Ukraine stopped due to the poor military efficiency of the armed forces and Ukrainian resistance. The statements of Russian officials regarding the attempt to” avoid sacrifices “are not true” are not true. This is stated in the daily report of the military intelligence of the UK Ministry of Defense.
As noted in the message, earlier Sergey Shoigu said at a meeting of the Ministers of Defense of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, that Russian troops are doing everything to avoid victims among civilians in Ukraine, so the rates of “special operations” were slowed.
According to British intelligence, this is intentional misinformation, since the Russian command fired at least six generals for not moving forward quickly enough.
