Putin has rested that he could not capture the whole of Ukraine and builds new plans - US intelligence

According to US National Intelligence Chairman Avril Haynes, the Kremlin's head wants to focus on strengthening its control in the occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as to ensure that the country does not become a member of NATO. Russian President Vladimir Putin restrained his ambitions on Ukraine. At least soon. He understands that it will not be possible to capture it. This was told by US National Intelligence Chairman Avril Haynes, CNN writes.

According to her, the Kremlin head wants to focus on strengthening its control in the occupied territories of Ukraine, as well as to ensure that the country does not become a member of NATO. However, it is unlikely that constructive negotiations will be able to start this year. She stated that Russian troops were preparing defensive structures in anticipation of the Armed Forces counter -offensive.

Heines also noted that the Russian Federation will no longer be able to conduct a significant offensive surgery in 2023 due to lack of ammunition and power. "In fact, if Russia does not initiate compulsory mobilization and does not provide significant deliveries for outsiders, in addition to existing deliveries from Iran and other countries, they will be more and more difficult to support even modest offensive operations," Hayns said.

We will remind that earlier Haynes also stated that Russia will most likely not use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. She urged Moscow to show restraint, even despite the serious losses caused by the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine. "This is very unlikely, this is our current rating," she said. In addition, it was reported that the Russian Federation rehearses a nuclear stroke after an UAV attack on the Kremlin.
