Success in Donbass came at a great price and thanks to the concentration at one point.
Within 100 days of Russia's invasion of Ukraine Russian troops failed to achieve their original goals of capturing Kyiv and Ukrainian centers of government. The constant resistance of Ukrainians and Russia's inability to capture Gostomel airfield for the first 24 hours led to the repulse of Russian offensive operations.
“Compared to Russia's original plan, none of the strategic goals have been achieved. Russia will need a huge investment of manpower and equipment to achieve any form of success, and it will probably take some more time, “British intelligence said in the morning report.
Analysts point out that after the failure of the initial plan, Russia has adapted its operational plan to focus on Donbass.
“Russia is now achieving tactical success in Donbass. The Russian armed forces have created and maintained dynamics and now seem to be holding the initiative over the Ukrainian opposition. Russia controls more than 90% of Luhansk region and is likely to complete control within the next two weeks, “the British Defense Ministry said.
At the same time, Russia has achieved the latest tactical successes at a significant cost of resources, as well as by concentrating force and fire on one point of the overall campaign.
