Russia has no room for further invasion

The British Ministry of Defense believes that Russia does not currently have the capacity to invade Ukraine, even at a time when Moscow claims that, despite setbacks, it has large swathes of the east and south under its control. The UK Department of Defense said in an intelligence assessment that Russia is likely to continue seeking to expand its control over the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. Russia illegally annexed all four regions at the end of September, although the Kremlin does not control all of these regions politically or militarily, especially since Kyiv has made great strides in reclaiming the land in recent months. The UK’s Daily Report on the Ukraine War stated: “It is currently unlikely that Russia’s strategy will achieve its objectives, and it is extremely unlikely that the Russian army will be able to form an effective strike force capable of regaining control of these areas.” For his part, US President Joe Biden reaffirmed his support for Ukraine during a telephone conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, the White House said. The White House statement said Biden assured Zelensky of the United States’ continued support for Ukraine’s defense while Russia continues its attacks on the country’s vital infrastructure. The White House statement highlights a $53 million pledged U.S. aid to Ukraine for energy facilities announced in November and a $275 million munitions and equipment package announced in December. In turn, Zelensky, in his tweet via Twitter, expressed gratitude to Biden after a fruitful conversation, adding that it was about continuing cooperation in the field of defense and the protection and maintenance of the energy sector. French President Emmanuel Macron also spoke on the phone Sunday with his Ukrainian counterpart to discuss preparations for a new conference in support of Ukraine to be held in Paris on Tuesday. and long-term investment in the Ukrainian economy.
