An open letter believed to be from the 155th Naval Infantry Brigade called a Russian assault in eastern Ukraine 'incomprehensible' in November.
One of Russia's elite brigades has been"significantly degraded" following"tough" deployments in Ukraine, according to a new intelligence assessment.
The 155th has likely lost numerous military vehicles around the Donbas town of Vuhledar, the ministry said. Vuhledar, a mining town close to the Donetsk front line, has seen weeks of some of the heaviest fighting of the past year.Russian forces had"no success" in offensive operations around Vuhledar, although the settlement had been"hit."
On Thursday, the British defense ministry suggested Moscow may be preparing for a renewed offensive around Vuhledar"despite costly failed attacks in early February and late 2022." Units of the brigade have been assigned"some of the toughest tactical missions" of the invasion, and have"suffered extremely high" casualty rates, it added.
