London, Thanasis Gavos
His appreciation for how it has evolved militarily the Russian invasion of Ukraine shared the head of the United Kingdom Armed Forces at an event on Tuesday, expressing surprise for design and execution errors.
Speaking at a meeting of executives he organized the Wall Street Journalthe admiral Sir Tony Radakin said that the Russian company has been distinguished from “shocking errors of security information” and from “incredible arrogance». He added that poor planning had led to disastrous results for the Russians.
He estimated that military decision-making rarely improves and in some cases gets worse. He even conveyed the surprise of the British staff for the way in which the Russian side has carried out this military operation.
He estimated that the man in charge of the operation is Vladimir Putin himself. He noted that he shows signs of an authoritarian leader who is becoming more and more isolated.
He added: “Whatever outcome the Russians are pursuing, it is”drastically differentFrom what they had originally planned. According to him, the original Russian plan provided for it occupation of control of large cities within days and control of Ukraine within 30 days.
The Kremlin’s ultimate goal, the British admiral said, was to occupy the entire Ukraine, to repel NATO and thus demonstrate Russia’s power and prestige.
“It simply came to our notice then. NATO is never stronger. “The suspicion that the Ukrainian people would somehow choose to turn to Russia now seems ridiculous.”commented Admiral Radakin.
Therefore, he added, Russia has already suffered a regular defeatforced to focus on Donbass, where even there the business looks like “incredibly risky, incredibly hurried».
Reporting to the business mistakes of the Russiansciting the example of the motorcade that was stationary for days north of Kiev, said that “the idea that you will run out of fuel when you are only 100 miles inside Ukraine is just a little weird».
He stressed that the British expected a much more coordinated operation between the corps of the Russian armed forces, but the Russians ultimately failed to develop a “dynamic” operation that would change depending on the circumstances. He indicated that the Russian air operations were planned 7-10 days before their execution.
He noted as a key factor in the outcome of the war so far the failure of the Russians to close communications in Ukraine, President Zelensky to speak to the rest of the world and to his compatriots.
Sir Tony also commented that Ukrainian forces have shown courage but also intelligence in dealing with the invasion.
