The Russian leader could not announce the significant achievements of the Russian army in Ukraine due to an incorrect analysis of the situation.
Russian commanders underestimated the strength of the Ukrainian resistance when they launched a massive offensive, which prevented Russian President Vladimir Putin from declaring a significant military victory over Ukraine at the Victory Day parade on May 9. This is mentioned in another report British intelligence, released on Tuesday, May 10, by the country’s Ministry of Defense.
Russia’s disregard for Ukrainian resistance and its ‘best case’ planning led to apparent operational setbacks by preventing President Putin from declaring a significant military victory over Ukraine in the Victory Parade on May 9.
Intelligence suggests that Russia’s plan of invasion is based on the misconception that Ukrainians will offer limited resistance, so that Russia can quickly surround and bypass populated areas.
This assumption has led Russian forces to try to carry out the initial stage of the operation with an easy, accurate approach designed to achieve an early victory at minimal cost, the British Ministry of Defense said.
However, incorrect calculations led to unbearable losses and further reduction in Russia’s operational focus.
Recall that at the parade in Moscow, Putin called the invasion of Ukraine “the only right decision,” because NATO countries were allegedly preparing an attack on Crimea.
The White House called Putin’s words about NATO untrue, and the speech at the parade in Moscow – “a version of the revisionist story, which took the form of disinformation, often regarded as a play by Russia.”
