Russia would have extremely big problems in supporting the fighting in the war in Ukraine, according to Great Britain, which says that due to the inability of the Russian army to fulfill the initial objectives set by the Kremlin, the evolution of the war would be based on the fulfillment of other much more modest ones , in the end.
Russia has made little progress in the Donbas recently, and expects a counterattack by Ukraine to liberate the occupied territories, and combining this with the lack of ammunition and personnel, the Russian army is forced to postpone its plans to to conquer all of Ukraine as soon as possible.
"Russia's war has proved 'both costly and strategically damaging.' The UK Ministry of Defense said in its August 24 intelligence update that Russia must return to more modest targets in the east and south after failing to topple the Ukrainian government.
The offensive in Donbas is making "minimal progress" and Moscow anticipates a major counterattack, the update said. The UK Ministry of Defense also noted that Russia is suffering from a shortage of munitions, vehicles and personnel, the overall morale of its military is low and its diplomatic power has been diminished."
