Kiev – Despite its numerical superiority, Russia has made little progress on the southern war front along the Dnepr River for months. In addition to sources from the Ukrainian military, this is also reported by the British secret service, which has been regularly providing information about developments on the war fronts in the south and east of Ukraine since the start of the Ukrainian war, for example via the short message service X.

By way of explanation, the intelligence update from London said: “It is highly likely that the poor training and coordination of Russian forces in this area is limiting their offensive capabilities.”
