Assessing the Military Capabilities of Russia and Ukraine in the Ongoing Conflict.
Russia's ground forces in Ukraine are mostly made up of poorly trained mobilized reservists who are increasingly reliant on antiquated equipment, according to a new intelligence assessment by the British Defense Ministry. The Combined Grouping of Forces is severely under-strength and unable to conduct effective military operations along the entire front line. Ukraine continues to counterattack Russian forces in the decimated eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, regaining at least a kilometer of territory in recent days.
