The current position of the Russian army at the front will undermine the limited confidence of Russian soldiers in the top military leadership.
Against the backdrop of a successful counter-offensive by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, most Russian forces are forced to go exclusively on the defensive. The situation at the front will further undermine the confidence of Russian soldiers in the country’s top military leadership, according to a report by the British Ministry of Defense, published on September 12.
“In the face of a Ukrainian offensive, Russia likely ordered the withdrawal of its troops from all occupied Kharkiv region west of the Oskol River. Isolated pockets of resistance remain in this sector, but since Wednesday, Ukraine has gained territory at least. twice the size of Greater London,” noted the British military.
According to intelligence, in southern Ukraine, near Kherson, Russian troops are “struggling to move sufficient reserves across the Dnieper River to the front line.” It was noted that Ukrainian long-range artillery hit the Dnieper crossings so often that Russia could not repair the damaged road bridges.
“The rapid Ukrainian gains have serious implications for Russia’s overall operational strategy. Most forces in Ukraine will likely be forced to prioritize emergency defensive actions. The limited confidence of deployed troops in top leadership of the Russian military is likely to worsen,” – summed up Britain’s Ministry of Defense.
Recall that the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that in the past day, Ukrainian defenders liberated more than 20 settlements.
