US intelligence predicts the further retreat of the Armed Forces after failure in Kharkiv - WP

During the days of the Armed Forces, most of the captured territories of the region and the similar success of Kiev, according to the publication, "stunned" the command of the Russian army. Successful counter -offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kharkiv region can be a turning point in the war and can lead to the retreat of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in other sections of the front. This is stated in The Washington Post.

According to journalists who communicated with the US intelligence agencies to create the article, the Armed Forces counter -offensive can be a turning point in the war and increasing pressure on Russia. Insiders do not exclude that for regrouping troops and compensation for tremendous losses among personnel, Russian President Vladimir Putin may declare mobilization.

During the days of the Armed Forces, most of the captured Kharkiv region was released and such success "stunned" the command of the Russian army. "The Russians have a problem. The question will be how the Russians respond, but their weaknesses have been discovered and they do not have large reserves of living power or equipment," said the source in the comment.

The interlocutors were also skeptical of information that Vladimir Putin, responding to the failure of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Kharkiv direction, can use nuclear or chemical weapons. Some officials warn that, despite all Russia's disadvantages, the Kremlin still has the opportunity to regroup and strike.

At the same time, as The WP writes, the Armed Forces Fast Counter -offensive feeds on optimism in the plan that Ukraine can regain new territories, forcing the Russian Federation to retreat in other areas. "Of course, this is a military failure. I don't know if I can call it a great strategic loss now," another US official said, warning that fierce fighting will continue in the near future.
