russia preparing for long war – intelligence

According to the observations of Ukraine's military intelligence, Russia is preparing for a large-scale long war.

"Putin's measures to reorganize the economy and the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation testify to the preparations for switching Russia to martial law. They are aimed at strengthening the potential of the Russian Armed Forces and creating conditions for conducting operations that were planned at the very beginning of the war, but were unsuccessfully implemented by the Russian-occupation forces," the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine posted on Facebook.

As the Directorate notes, the efforts of the Russian Federation to attract all military resources for the continuation of the war in Ukraine and the recent appointment of the chief of the general staff of the armed forces of the Russian Federation Gerasimov as the new commander of the occupation forces testify not only to Russia's military failures but also to the preparation of the Russian Federation for the continuation of a large-scale long war.

As reported, the Russian Federation banned citizens fit for military service from leaving the country. The Russian FSB sent a corresponding order to all the country's border guard departments (in the Russian Federation, border guards are part of the FSB).
