According to the official, the lack of coordination between the Russian commanders convinced them that Putin’s forces they could not prepare for an impending invasion.
“When you mobilize military equipment – tanks, soldiers – the commanders on the field need at least two weeks to coordinate with each other,” he said.
“Even in the last days before the invasion there were no regular preparations and you can not go to war without them. That is why today they are so incapable of achieving their goals “, he added.
However, despite the apparent problems caused by the lack of coordination of Russian forces, the official said he feared the conflict could last for a long time.
