“Russian progress on Kyiv is where it was yesterday,” the official told reporters, citing a number of reasons, including a lack of food for Russian troops. The official claimed that Russian troops are not only facing “fuel and sustainability” problems, but there are indications that they are running out of food. The official claimed that Ukrainian “resistance” could also be a possible reason for the stagnation of Russian troops.
The official said Russia’s current lack of progress could not be due to resistance alone or problems arising from its own logistics. It may also be that they are “potentially reclassifying, reclassifying and reevaluating” before proceeding.
Russia can change strategy
“They (Russia) will regroup, they will adjust themselves and change their strategy,” the official said. He said the Russian Defense Ministry openly admitted that it would target civilian areas in Kyiv. According to the official, Russia has committed itself to using more than 80 percent of its pre-determined combat power in Ukraine. Russia has so far fired more than 400 missiles at Ukrainian targets.
Russian soldiers are trying to avoid risk
The official also said that the Russian military appears to be trying to “avoid risk” when it comes to its own troops. Evidence of avoidant behavior has been found.” He said that “You have seen this on the ground, where many units of Russian soldiers are surrendering without a fight. Many of these soldiers are soldiers who have never fought a war before. We believe that some of them are like this.” There are also those who weren’t even told they’re going to compete. So we’re seeing evidence of a little bit of risk aversion.”
The senior defense official said that despite Russia’s vast armed forces, disputes over Ukraine’s airspace remain. Russia has not yet captured the airspace. The country of President Volodymyr Zelensky is currently moving towards practical defense. The official said that as in the first days of the war, Russian forces have had more success in southern Ukraine. Russia continues to focus on attacking large cities such as Kyiv and Kharkiv.
