In its latest intelligence update, the UK Defense Ministry says Russia was caught off guard by “the scale and strength” of Ukraine’s resistance to the Russian invasion.
“It has responded by targeting popular areas in multiple locations… This is likely an effort to break Ukrainian morale,” the ministry says.
“Russia has previously used similar tactics,” it adds, noting past Russian military campaigns in Chechnya and Syria.
The intelligence update also says “Russian supply lines reportedly continue to be targeted, slowing the rate of the advance of their ground forces.”
