British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said that despite fears that the Russian Federation could launch a strong attack on the first anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, there is no evidence of a large concentration of Russian forces like on February 24, 2022. He said this on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, writes the Financial Times newspaper.
According to Wallace, the greatest success of the Russian Federation so far was a series of test attacks along the front line with the participation of the mobilized, which led to very heavy losses.
“Today there is no evidence of a significant, major Russian offensive. What we have seen is an advance on the fronts at the cost of thousands of lives,” the minister said.
Wallace added that the Russian army shows no desire to abandon the “meat grinder” tactics and insists on continuing the offensive. According to him, Russia’s “big” offensive is advancing “by meters, not kilometers.”
Earlier, the British Minister of Defense said that the Russian Federation still has significant forces. According to him, Russia involved up to 97% of its army in the war against Ukraine.
He also noted that Ukraine may experience some shortage of ammunition, but this will be temporary. Because the Western partners do not have strategic problems with the continuation of the military needs of Ukraine.
