But still a lot

(2/3) Russia’s departure from northern Ukraine leaves evidence of the disproportionate targeting of non-combatants including the presence of mass graves, the fatal use of hostages as human shields, and mining of civilian infrastructure. Ministry of Defence 🇬🇧 @DefenceHQ · 12h (3/3) Russian forces continue to use IEDs to inflict casualties, lower morale, and restrict Ukrainian freedom of movement. Russian forces also continue to attack infrastructure targets with a high risk of collateral harm to civilians, including a nitrate acid tank at Rubizhne.

And so our sense is that they will likely not be able to reinforce the eastern part of the country with any great speed. I know that's not completely satisfactory. I couldn't give you days or weeks. It's really going to depend on the unit and how ready they are to get back into the fight. But we don't believe that in general, this is going to be a speedy process for them given the kinds of casualties they've taken and the kind of damages they've sustained to their units' readiness. ...So we're seeing the Russians, again, try to occupy more ground in the south and the east. It's difficult -- what we don't know is that the sum total of Russian objectives now or whether this is to get leverage at the negotiating table or whether it's to establish a more firm footing from which to launch attacks back further to the west in the country. We just don't have that level of visibility....And it depends on, you know, that goes up or down depending on what individual factor you're looking at. Tanks, fighter aircraft, missile inventory, troops, I mean, but the aggregate tells us that they are under 85 percent of their assessed available combat power when they started this invasion. ...So that's why I think the Chairman spoke about it in such dark terms yesterday. Because this is -- this will be a knife fight. This could be very bloody and very ugly. And because they're going to concentrate their efforts there, the Russians are, they're limiting their geographic aims. And they still have a lot of combat power available to them. As I said, less than 85 percent but still a lot. There's the distinct possibility that this, as the Chairman said, this could go on for a long time. DoD 8April

I russi per il momento puntano ad una guerra lunga.
