Russia counts on Ukrainian territory with “more than 50%” of the troops it had concentrated on the border between the two countries, but seems “increasingly frustrated” with the resistance of the Ukrainian army – declared a high-ranking Pentagon official on Saturday. (26).
“We estimate that more than 50% of the force that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin has concentrated against Ukraine (…) is mobilized” inside the country, said the source, who asked not to be identified. “Furthermore, we continue to see signs of viable Ukrainian resistance,” he added.
“We believe that the Russians are increasingly frustrated with the loss of momentum in the last 24 hours, especially in northern Ukraine,” commented the US Department of Defense official. He pointed out that, as of Saturday, Russian forces had not yet taken control of any Ukrainian city or Ukrainian airspace.
Russian forces “are frustrated by … a very determined Ukrainian resistance that held them back”, he insisted, stating that “from what we see, this resistance is greater than the Russians anticipated”.
According to the Pentagon official, military aid has not stopped being sent to Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian offensive. “I can confirm to you that you have received our military assistance in recent days,” he said, adding that the batch announced today includes the modern Javelin anti-tank missiles used by the US Army.
