The Russian army has always had equipment problems and insufficient manpower, the British admiral said.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin is “failing all his military-strategic objectives” in Ukraine, British Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Tony Radakin told BBC News. Despite this and Ukraine’s successful counteroffensive, the war is likely to drag on, he said.
“From the very beginning, we said that this was a strategic mistake by President Putin, and strategic mistakes lead to strategic consequences. And in this case, it was a strategic failure. Putin failed with all his military -strategic goals, he wants to subjugate Ukraine, this will not happen “He wants to control the capital, we saw that he lost earlier. We saw that he wanted to weaken NATO. Now NATO is stronger, Finland and Sweden are joining us,” UP quotes Radakin.
According to him, the Russian army has always had problems with equipment and insufficient manpower.

“His (Putin’s) forces are weak on the ground. And we also see the wonderful Ukrainian armed forces showing courage, they fight for their country and enjoy the international support that we all give,” added by Radakin.
“On a strategic level this is a failure for Putin”

At the same time, as Russia’s problems mount, the likely outcome for now is that the war will continue for a long time, Radakin said.
Earlier, the British Ministry of Defense said that Russia, due to failures on the front, increased the number of attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, in particular, the one that hit the dam on the Ingulets River in Krivoy Rog .
