For a new offensive, Russia would need many uncommitted soldiers. According to British information, Moscow is already deploying parts of its new army in eastern Ukraine. Therefore, no advance is expected in the coming weeks, according to an intelligence report.
According to British military experts, a Russian offensive in the war of aggression against Ukraine has currently become less likely due to the deployment of previously uncommitted troops. This emerges from the daily intelligence report from the Ministry of Defense in London.
Accordingly, Moscow probably deployed parts of its newly founded 25th Army for the first time in battle west of the cities of Sievierodonetsk and Kreminna. “Since the beginning of the invasion, Russia has rarely held back an uncommitted army-sized group that could potentially form the basis of a major new offensive push,” the British statement said.
But with parts of the 25th Army being deployed to reinforce thinned ranks at the front, a concerted new Russian offensive in the coming weeks is less likely. The British Ministry of Defense has been publishing daily information on the course of the war since the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine began in February 2022. Moscow accuses London of disinformation.
