MI6 is the UK’s civilian agency for foreign intelligence, and is tasked with gathering intelligence abroad.
Moore posted the post along with a Twitter post by British intelligence, which writes that the Kremlin is desperate.
– Russia has lost tens of thousands of soldiers and uses weapons from the Soviet era. Their outdated missiles are killing and injuring innocent Ukrainians. Russia will not win this unjust war, they write.

– Weapon problems
A number of reports from British intelligence recently have been about the same thing. On Friday, a week ago, intelligence believed it knew that Russia has increased the use of anti-aircraft missiles against ground targets in Ukraine. Lack of more suitable weapons is the reason, according to the British defence.
The British military intelligence service writes in a Twitter-melding on Friday morning about the use of long-range S-300 and S-400 missiles against targets for which they are not particularly well suited.
– These weapons have relatively small warheads and are designed to destroy planes and helicopters. They can pose a serious threat to soldiers in open country and flimsy buildings, but can hardly penetrate more solid structures, the message said.
Using the rockets for this purpose entails an increased risk that the weapons will miss their intended targets and may hit civilians. In addition, the crews must have little training in this type of mission, the intelligence points out.
– There is a great danger that these weapons will miss their intended targets and hit civilians since the rockets are not suitable for this role, and the crews who use them have little training in this type of mission, it continues.
– Kherson city, the most politically significant population center occupied by Russia, is now virtually cut off from the other occupied territories. A loss of the city would drastically undermine Russia’s attempts to portray the occupation as a success, the intelligence wrote.
On Saturday, British intelligence also reports that Ukraine has succeeded in stopping Russian attacks on the front line near Donbas.
Arne Bård Dalhaug, retired lieutenant general and former defense chief, earlier this week painted a picture for Dagbladet that the Russians may have committed a major tactical error by betting heavily on both Kherson and Donbas.
– The question is whether it was the right priority to send such large forces to Donbas, he said – and pointed out that the Russians must withdraw forces from Donbas to strengthen efforts in Kherson, which he considers to be far more strategically important than the former.
