According to British intelligence, Russia probably planned to make maximum efforts for the offensive on Bakhmut in Donbas, but commanders faced a dilemma: deploy operational reserves to support this offensive or defend against Ukraine's offensive in the south.
“Multiple simultaneous threats on a 500-kilometer front will test Russia's ability to coordinate an operational plan and redistribute resources among multiple force groups. At the beginning of the war, Russia's inability to do this was one of the main reasons for the poor performance of the military,” analysts of the British Ministry of Defense noted.
