Kathmandu, May 11
According to US intelligence, Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning a long war in Ukraine.
”Similar, baseless charges involving Russia’s intelligence have been made more than once,” Russia’s foreign intelligence service said in a statement released Friday.
After Ukraine defeated Russian attempts to take Kyiv, Moscow has re-concentrated its forces on the Donbass area.
National Intelligence Director Avril Haynes told the US Senate on Tuesday that Putin was still trying to ”reach goals beyond the two worlds,” but that his ambitions and Russia’s present conventional military capabilities were ‘at odds.’
Cherkasy Tishki, Ruski Tiski, Rubijne, and Bayrak have all been withdrawn from Russia,
according to the Russian military. Ukraine’s achievement, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, is gradually forcing Russian forces out of Kharkiv. Since the start of the conflict, Kharkiv has been attacked repeatedly.
