TBILISI, Georgia — The United Kingdom’s top spy chief said Russia is in a “desperate situation,” as its military forces are “exhausted” by an attempted invasion of Ukraine that has now dragged into its eighth month.
“The costs to Russia, in people and equipment, are staggering,” said Jeremy Fleming, the top British intelligence official, who spoke Tuesday at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), a London think tank. “We know, and Russian commanders on the ground know, that their supplies and munitions are running out.”
During his lecture, Fleming claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to mobilize hundreds of thousands of additional young men for the war, as well as the use of prisoners on the front lines, "speaks of a desperate situation." The so-called partial mobilization triggered widespread protests and a mass exodus of civilians fleeing across borders from Finland to Georgia and Mongolia.
