The spy who exposes the problems of Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Talking about the latest updates on the war in Ukraine is Sir Jeremy Fleming, head of the British spy agency GCHQ. Fleming, who rarely speaks in public, will speak at Rusi thinktank and parts of his speech have already been anticipated: “Russian army supplies and ammunition are running low, Russian troops are exhausted. The use of prisoners to reinforce the ranks, and now the mobilization of tens of thousands of inexperienced recruits, speaks of a hopeless situation.”
The British intelligence chief will also highlight the exorbitant costs incurred by Russia in months of fighting: “We know, and Russian commanders on the ground know, that their supplies and ammunition are running low.” According to Fleming, the Russian people are also losing faith in Putin and his war: “We are far from the inevitable Russian military victory that its propaganda machine trumpeted, while it is clear that Ukraine’s courageous action on the battlefield and in cyberspace is reversing the situation. Put on? Faced with few real internal challenges, his decision-making process proved flawed and he engaged in a high-risk strategy that is leading to errors in strategic judgment.”
The forecast by British intelligence, in its latest report on the situation in Ukraine, takes up the same concepts as Fleming: “General Sergei Surovikin, appointed by the Kremlin as the sole commander of the special military operation in Ukraine, will probably have to deal with a Russian army. increasingly biased and which has scarce resources to achieve the political goals that have been established in Ukraine”.
