'The prospects for wider talks to end the conflict [in Ukraine] remain low,' the U.K. Defence Ministry said in an intelligence update.
many of the Russian troops are being placed in"ad hoc groupings" as they assemble reinforcements near Ukraine, adding that they are being equipped with"obsolete or inappropriate" gear.
The ministry said that Russia"moving reserve forces from across the country and assembling them near Ukraine for future offensive operations," and added that many of the new infantry units are"probably deploying" MT-LB armored vehicles, which Russia"has long considered unsuitable for most front-line infantry transport roles."
"It was originally designed in the 1950s as a tractor to pull artillery, has very limited armour, and only mounts a machine gun for protection," the ministry wrote. The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence on Thursday said that Russian forces are stifled in Ukraine by aging vehicles and weapons that are preventing them from quickly achieving advances amid its ongoing invasion.
