An intelligence update from the British Ministry of Defense says Russian forces in Ukraine have stalled, failed to achieve their objectives and have not been able to control Ukrainian airspace.

The delays have made the Russians use up more of their modern weaponry, and they are therefore resorting to “older, less precise weapons.”

These weapons “are less military effective and more likely to result in civilian casualties,” the update says.

The update comes as Russia already inflicts horrific damage on Ukrainian cities.
