The planned major offensive is said to have been canceled and the Russian military at an end, according to high-ranking NATO circles.
Over the past three months, the Russian military has suffered a series of failed attacks. The effort and the losses were great – but the successes were small. The situation in the embattled city of Bachmut is also classified as “difficult”. This makes it possible to draw conclusions about the course of the war in Ukraine. “This is the Russian spring offensive. It is exactly what it sounds like. That is all,” said a NATO official.

According to high-ranking circles, the Russian military is at an end and the expected major offensive is no longer taking place or is significantly reduced.
The Russians are running out of ammo.
According to the British secret service, the use of so-called “Remote Anti-Armor Mine Systems” (RAAM) is mainly responsible for the Russian setbacks. The system allows anti-tank mines to be laid up to 17 kilometers from the launch site. These were thrown by the Ukrainians over and behind the advancing Russian units, causing chaos.

There are also rumors that Russia may be running low on ammo and missiles as Ukraine’s air force continues to strengthen. “Russia has already lost 130 planes in Ukraine, and there are crews for another 1,500, but these have not been mobilized,” the NATO official said. As far as he knows, the number of people injured and killed on the Russian side is vastly greater. “These figures are several times higher than the Ukrainian losses.”
