Russia incapable of overthrowing Ukrainian government - Canadian intelligence

Russian forces deployed in Ukraine are insufficient for Russia to replace the government in Kyiv.

That’s according to the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Currently, Russia’s deployed forces in Ukraine are insufficient for it to achieve its stated objective of replacing the government in Kyiv," reads the tweet posted by the agency’s press service.

It is noted that "Russia will continue to struggle to make even modest tactical progress on the eastern and southern fronts."

At the same time, the Russian Federation no longer has sufficient reserves to replenish its group operating in Ukraine.

"Almost all Russian Army units have been involved in combat in Ukraine. Russia has seen such high casualties across most of its Army units that it is struggling to even find untrained recruits to backfill deployed units,” the report reads.

This leads to a significant decrease in the number of participants in this year’s annual strategic military exercises Vostok.
