The United Kingdom’s Defense Ministry says in a new intelligence report that Russia has likely failed to achieve its objectives in Ukraine so far.

“It remains highly unlikely that Russia has successfully achieved the objectives outlined in its pre-invasion plan,” the report says.

“Russian ground forces continue to make limited progress. Logistical issues that have hampered the Russian advance persist as does strong Ukrainian resistance.”

“Russia is likely seeking to reset and re-posture its forces for renewed offensive activity in the coming days. This will probably include operations against the capital Kyiv,” it adds.
