Defenders of Ukraine thwarted putin’s blitzkrieg plan to seize Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa, so the occupiers are now focusing their efforts on eastern Ukraine. This was said by Vadym Skibitskyi, a represenatative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, on the air of the ‘Nastoiashcheye vremia’ TV channel.

According to Ukraine’s military intelligence, russia still has sufficient potential to wage a long war against our state. According to Vadym Skibitskyi, the enemy uses 103 battalion-tactical groups in the territory of Ukraine, which are directly involved in hostilities. Another 40 battalion-tactical groups are in reserve and can be used against the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine also said that due to the military failures of the occupying forces, the General Staff of the russian federation has to adjust the invasion plans every 30 days and focus all efforts on certain areas.

“We have a confirmed information that the russians have plan for 120 days of war. Further adjustment of this plan will depend on how successful the enemy is or whether it is defeated in eastern Ukraine. However, the russians did not manage to achieve the goal of the so-called special military operation, which putin announced at the beginning of the war,” Vadym Skibitskyi said.
