U.K. intelligence reported Russia's military is currently too 'over-stretched' to launch an offensive against Ukraine's forces.
"Since mid-September 2023, Russia has highly likely committed elements of its new 25th Combined Arms Army to action for the first time," the MOD wrote, adding that the formation first moved into Ukraine in late August.
Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a video meeting with members of his Security Council at the Kremlin, on September 22, 2023. The British Defense Ministry says Putin's military is currently incapable of mounting an offensive against Ukraine.reached out to the Russian Ministry of Defense via email for comment.
"Units from two of 25 CAA's maneuver components, 67th Motor Rifle Division and 164th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade are reported to be fighting on the front in a sector west of Severodonetsk and Kreminna, along the border between Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts," the MOD said. The British agency said the use of the 25 CAA is representative of larger issues that have reportedly plagued Putin's military throughout the military campaign in Ukraine.
"Since the start of the invasion, Russia has only rarely maintained an uncommitted army-size grouping which could potentially form the basis of a major new offensive thrust," the MOD wrote, adding,"With 25 CAA apparently being deployed piecemeal to reinforce the over-stretched line, a concerted new Russian offensive is less likely over the coming weeks."
