NATO Intelligence: Putin is ready for great losses for the sake of slow success

NATO sources have reported that Russia continues to lose more than a thousand people daily, but its ability to recruit new soldiers meets the level of loss. "Russian troops are moving more slowly, their losses are increasing, but the Kremlin is ready to endure enormous losses in exchange for gradual, albeit slow, achievements," - said the official. He also noted that, in his opinion, Russian society has not yet reached a critical point when it could give up war.

The situation on the front, according to NATO estimates, remains extremely difficult. According to the Alliance, Russia will continue to try to increase the pressure on the Armed Forces of Ukraine to delay the war and strengthen its position in negotiations. Russia retains its advantage on the battlefield, trying to win, using shortcomings in the Ukrainian forces. "There is no sign on the front that Russia is preparing for a ceasefire.

There is no change for Moscow's goals in this war," NATO's representative emphasized. In addition, the Alliance noted that Ukraine has lost more than 90% of the territory captured by Russia in the Kursk region and now controls less than 100 square kilometers. Russia has resumed control over the city of Sudzha, and this is due to the quantitative advantage - there are about 70 thousand Russian soldiers in the Kursk region.

Moscow also attracted the North Korean military in the fighting, placing 11,000 soldiers in the region. NATO also reports that in the winter, about 3,500 North Korean soldiers were sent to Russia for training. The losses among them are about 5000 people, of which 1500 were killed. According to the Alliance, Russia will probably continue the pressure and ultimately displace Ukrainian troops from the Kursk region.

The official noted that he did not know whether the exit of the Ukrainian forces from the judge to terminate the US Intelligence, but confirmed that the break in their granting lasted a week and had a negative impact on Ukraine's defense capability. At the same time, NATO emphasizes that the Alliance itself does not convey the intelligence of Ukraine-they do some member states of the Alliance. "We expect our allies to provide Ukraine with quality intelligence," he added.

NATO also emphasizes that Russia's approach has not changed to negotiations. The Kremlin is convinced that time works for it. "We doubt that Putin is set up to talk with good intentions," the high -ranking official said. According to him, one of Russia's main goals in negotiations is the restoration of relations with the West and the international community.

In parallel, Moscow is trying to demoralize Ukrainians, but military and civilian citizens of Ukraine continue to demonstrate extraordinary sustainability and determination in the fight. "Ukrainians want peace, but not at any cost," the official added. NATO continues to strive to achieve a fair and sustainable peace for Ukraine, emphasizing that any peace agreement should not allow Russia to win time for further offensive.

On April 3, the NATO Council-Ukraine meeting was held at the NATO Headquarters, which was attended by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sibiga. We will remind, the strikes in the Russian territory that caused the Armed Forces of Ukraine using Western long -range weapons, including ATACMS missiles, were "extremely effective".
