The Russian army progresses on the front in Ukraine: US intelligence has voiced a disappointing forecast

According to Euril Gains, the purpose of the attacks of the Russians is to persuade Ukrainians that further struggle will only increase the harm to their country and will not bring victory closer. The tactics of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine are becoming more aggressive, in particular, the objects of energy infrastructure fall under the impact. This statement was made by the Director of US National Intelligence Euril Gains, informs Voice of America.

According to her, the receipt by Moscow from China components and dual -purpose components for the Russian defense industry is "one of the factors through which the dynamics on the battlefield in Ukraine has changed in favor of the Kremlin. " Gaine also noted that the Russians began to restore their military capacity faster.

"Over the months, Putin demonstrated his willingness to start negotiations with Kiev and Washington regarding the future of Ukraine, but there were no signs that he is ready to make significant concessions," she stressed. At the same time, said Euril Gayins, Russia uses more aggressive tactics against Ukraine, in particular, causing strokes on Ukrainian energy objects.

The US Intelligence Director added that according to the Kremlin, it "should convince Ukrainians that the continuation of the struggle will only increase their harm and will not lead to victory. " "Most likely, this aggressive tactic will continue and the war is unlikely to end in the near future," Gayins said. At the same time, she stressed that Putin "increased the cost of defense to almost 7% of GDP, which is almost twice higher than the average in the history of the country.

" Now the defense budget of the Russian Federation is approximately 25% of all costs. "This is largely caused by the Russian Federation paid a huge price for the war in Ukraine," Gaine is convinced. On February 28, the head of the GUR Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov stated that in order to end the war and victory of the Armed Forces, it is necessary to choose the right strategy that would take into account modern realities and opportunities.
