The Kremlin’s original plan to capture Kyiv failed, and now the Russian army is focused on Donbass, where it is making little progress at the expense of huge losses.
During the 100 days of the war in Ukraine, Russian troops failed to achieve any of their original objectives. This is stated in the report of the British Ministry of Defense, published on 3 June.
According to British intelligence, the continued Ukrainian resistance prevented the Russian army from capturing Kyiv and the Gostomel airport. After the original plan failed due to misconceptions and bad tactics, Russia turned its attention to the Donbass.
“The Russian Federation controls more than 90% of the Luhansk region and is likely to establish full control in the next two weeks,” the military department said, adding that recent tactical successes have been achieved due to large loss of resources and the concentration of forces. as part of the overall campaign.
At the same time, in other fields, the Russian army did not create a movement and continued to defend.
“Compared to Russia’s original plan, none of the strategic goals have been achieved. In order for the Russian Federation to achieve at least some success, continued large investments and huge time are required,” summed up the British Ministry of Defense. .
Recall, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on June 3, the Russian Federation lost 30,950 soldiers, 1367 tanks, 210 aircraft and 175 helicopters to Ukraine.
