The defenders of Ukraine thwarted the Russian blitzkrieg plan to capture Kyiv, Kharkov and Odessa, so now the enemy has concentrated the main efforts in the east of Ukraine. However, the occupiers did not abandon the plan for the complete capture of Ukraine.. This was stated by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Vadym Skibitsky, the press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate reports..

According to Ukrainian intelligence, the Russian Federation still has sufficient potential to wage a long-term war against Ukraine..

According to Skibitsky, the enemy uses 103 battalion-tactical groups on the territory of Ukraine, which are directly involved in hostilities.. About 40 more armored personnel carriers are in reserve and can be used against the Ukrainian military.

In addition, the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate said that due to the military failures of the occupation forces of the Russian Federation, the Russian General Staff has to adjust the invasion plans every 30 days and focus all efforts only on certain areas..

According to Skibitsky, Ukrainian intelligence has confirmed information that the Russian Federation has a plan for 120 days of war..

“Further adjustment of this plan will depend on how much the enemy will succeed or, on the contrary, will be defeated in the east of Ukraine..

However, the goals of the so-called “special military operation”, which Putin announced at the beginning of the war, the Russians did not manage to achieve,” added the representative of the GUR.
