War in Ukraine could go on for another year - British intelligence
The Russians are suffering heavy losses at the front, but are trying to make up for it with mobilised men.
Vladimir Putin has no intention of winding down his military campaign. He is still dreaming of seizing large areas of Ukraine. He is not stopped by heavy casualties on both sides, sanctions or a growing nuclear threat. As British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said, all indications are that the war will continue for about another year, Sky News reported.
When someone has crossed the line and thinks it's okay to do this to their own people, effectively turning the army into a meat grinder, I don't think they will stop," he explained his predictions.
Wallace noted that the Kremlin doesn't care about its own soldiers and therefore to say that significant casualties by the military could affect Putin's rhetoric is meaningless.
According to Wallace, over 188,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded as a result of Putin's "catastrophic miscalculation" and the figure continues to rise every day.
It is known that British intelligence believes that Russia will try to launch an attack near Ugledar in Donetsk Region. Also, as noted by intelligence, the Russians are building up a grouping in the south, as they assume that Ukraine may make a breakthrough in the south, wanting to cut off Crimea from the mainland.
