"Stocks of artillery shells in Russia have decreased to 30%, the remaining missiles are almost exhausted, and the maximum Russian production is about 40 cruise missiles per month. All this forced Moscow to abandon its ambitious plans to seize Kyiv and shift its efforts to an attempt to occupy the entire Luhansk region and Donetsk region."
Summing up the year of the great war in Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence, told about this in an interview with Forbes.
"The big Russian offensive they have in mind is already underway. But it continues so much that not everyone even sees it - such is the quality of this attack. They have a strategic task - to reach the administrative borders of Donetsk and Luhansk regions by March 31.
This is what they dream of, and they will not be able to do it."
