According to the United States, Russia gathered more than 150,000 troops around Ukraine before the invasion on February 24. They had enough aircraft, artillery, tanks, and other fire equipment to carry out a full-scale attack.
“We estimate Russia’s combat power at just below 90 percent for the first time,” the US official said.
The Defense Ministry spokesman also criticized Russia’s ability to seize Ukraine, as they have morale problems, problems with command, and failures to advance in Kyiv.
As reported, the intelligence department of the British Armed Forces believes that Ukraine has managed to defend Russia in the airspace, thereby disrupting one of Russia’s main tasks.
