According to the head of Ukrainian military intelligence, “Moscow’s strategic goal is to arrive before March 31 to the administrative boundaries of the regions of the city. Lugansk And Donetsk”, two territories in the east of Ukraine, partially occupied by Russia and where the most fierce hostilities are taking place.

Budanov was convinced that the Kremlin has no options to achieve these goals due to the rapid rate at which he depletes his ammunition and missiles and the meager training of the new soldiers he has mobilized.

According to Budanov, neither the products of the Russian arms industry nor Iranian imports are able to compensate for the loss of weapons and ammunition that Russia carries in battles like the battle for the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region.
