Defenders of Ukraine thwarted Putin's blitzkrieg plan to seize Kyiv, Kharkiv and Odessa, so the occupiers are now focusing their efforts on eastern Ukraine. This was announced on the air of the TV channel "Nastoyaschee Vremya" by the representative of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Vadym Skibitsky.

According to Ukraine's military intelligence, Russia still has sufficient potential to wage a long war against our state. According to Vadym Skibitsky, the enemy uses 103 battalion tactical groups on the territory of Ukraine, which are directly involved in hostilities. Another 40 BTGs are in reserve and can be used against the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

We have confirmed information that the Russians have a plan for 120 days of war. Further adjustment of this plan will depend on how successful the enemy is or whether it is defeated in eastern Ukraine. However, the Russians did not manage to achieve the goal of the so-called special military operation, which Putin announced at the beginning of the war

The representative of the military intelligence of Ukraine also said that due to the military failures of the occupying forces, the General Staff of the Russian Federation has to adjust the invasion plans every 30 days and focus all efforts on certain areas.

The Kremlin is going to make a new federal district of Russia out of the occupied Ukrainian territories, and functionaries from Moscow will replace the leaders of the so-called “republics” in the Donbass.
