No success in May: Russia gave way to the Armed Forces on the front - British intelligence

According to the British Ministry of Defense, Russia does not have time to form a reserve because of the need to constantly close the breaks on the front line around Bakhmut. In May 2023, Russia stopped active action in some areas of the front and is increasingly inferior to the Ukrainian Army's initiative, responding only to the reaction to the attacks of guerrillas and the Armed Forces. On Wednesday, May 31, the UK Ministry of Defense reports on Twitter.

According to the department, such tactics may indicate that the Russian command is now confused by the formation of reserve forces and their location in those areas of hostilities where Ukraine can potentially start a counter -offensive. However, all these actions do not produce the necessary result due to the fact that to fill the breaks on the front line around Bakhmut, it is necessary to send troops constantly.

British intelligence noted that in May, Russia has struck massive blows in Ukrainian cities with winged missiles and Kamikadze drones in order to destroy Ukrainian air defense systems. "Russia has not achieved much success for its probable purposes to neutralize the improved air defense system and destroy the Ukrainian counter -offensive forces. They relocated security forces on the ground to respond to guerrilla attacks in the West of Russia," the British Ministry of Defense said.
