British intelligence has named a factor hindering the rapid advance of the allied forces in the Donbass
The daily analytical report of the UK intelligence noted the greatest success achieved by the Russian army in the Donbass over the past month. This refers to the advance in the Bakhmut (Artemovsk) area for ten kilometers.
This is reported by the British media corporation BBC.
In other sectors of the front in the Donbass, the advance amounted, according to the authors of the report, to no more than three kilometers. When referring to "Russian troops", British analysts seem to have in mind not only the Russian army, but also the People's Militia of the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics. They believe that the allies are not advancing fast enough.
In its report, British intelligence named a factor hindering the rapid advance of the allied forces in the Donbass. According to its analysts, the Russians do not have enough combat-ready infantry units. Therefore, despite a significant advantage in artillery, the offensive is slow.
In addition, the report states that in the south of Ukraine, the Russian Armed Forces are strengthening defensive positions, while attacks on the fortifications of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and national battalions continue on the territory of the DPR.
Earlier, Russian war correspondent Yevgeny Poddubny also mentioned the reasons for the slow advance of the allied forces. In his opinion, this is hindered by Ukrainian artillery, which has not yet been completely suppressed.
And although the offensive of the allied forces is considered by many to be insufficiently fast, excessive haste is also unlikely to be appropriate, because it increases the risk of increased losses among the personnel of the advancing troops.
