South Ukraine: London: Supply and personnel problems with Russians

While the Ukrainian army has launched a counter-offensive in the south, Russian supply lines there are showing some shortcomings, military experts report.

According to military experts, the Russian occupiers around the southern Ukrainian city of Cherson are suffering from personnel and supply problems despite significant reinforcements. That emerges from the daily intelligence update of the British Ministry of Defense on the Ukraine war on Tuesday.

Whether the Russians can withstand the recently launched Ukrainian counter-offensive in the region depends crucially on whether a reorganization of the invasion forces proves successful, the Defense Ministry said in a statement in London

“Since early August, Russia has made significant efforts to reinforce its forces on the west bank of the Dnipro (Dnieper) River around Kherson,” the statement said on Twitter. The units in the south were probably supplemented by components from the east. This suggests a fundamental reorganization of the command structures. However, most of the units around Kherson remain undermanned and depend on fragile supply lines via ferry and pontoon bridges.

Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine at the end of February, the British government has regularly published intelligence information on its progress. Moscow accuses London of a targeted disinformation campaign.
