Russia has seen ‘epic fails’ and is ‘running out of steam,’ says top U.K. spy chief
MSN ^ | July 22 | Sophie Mellor

The head of Britain’s secret intelligence unit MI6 said Russia is struggling to maintain its military campaign in Ukraine, and that President Vladimir Putin will soon be forced to temporarily halt his invasion, potentially giving Ukraine the opportunity to hit back.

Richard Moore, in a rare public appearance at the Aspen Security Forum, said Russia has experienced “epic fails” in achieving its initial goal of removing Ukrainian President Zelensky from his post, capturing Kyiv, and sowing disunity in the West.

The intelligence service views Russia’s military gains to be “tiny” and noted the country was “about to run out of steam,” which could allow Ukrainian forces to strike back.

"Our assessment is that the Russians will increasingly find it difficult to find manpower and materiel over the next few weeks," Moore told the conference of the top foreign policy experts and White House officials in Colorado, adding, "they will have to pause in some way and that will give the Ukrainians the opportunity to strike back."

A macro view of the war Calling the invasion, “the most egregious naked act of aggression... in Europe since the Second World War," Moore noted that a greater supply of Western weaponry may be necessary to arm Ukraine and help the country counter-attack Russian forces when President Vladimir Putin temporarily halts his invasion.

Globohomos keep pushing their anti-Russia propaganda.

Meanwhile, Russia is gobbling up large swathes of Ukraine, and banning globohomo propaganda in their country. While Zelensky and his fellow fags push gay marriage during a time their country is under invasion.

The biggest epic fail of Russia in this ill-considered war of conquest is found in the fact that the war has gone on for five months now as opposed to one week as Putin expected.

“Russia has seen ‘epic fails’ and is ‘running out of steam,’ says top U.K. spy chief”

Didn’t these ‘Intelligence Experts’ claim the same...about a week into the war?

I guess it’s time for the West to cough up more money, yet again.

Since when does MI6 make such pronouncements? It is the equivalent of our CIA.

Epic fails? The top UK spy chief is a literal child. Probably “claps back” at Putin too.

(you) Stand up for Ukraine.

(me) What do you mean exactly?

(you) You know, support it.

(me) No, I don’t know what that means. Support it how?

(you) Look, stop asking questions, Putin Puffer. I don’t know what that means. It’s a generic and vague show of support which indicates my level of depth and concern.

(me) Oh. Are you planning to fight for Zelenskyy?

(you) Dirty RuZZian

"they will have to pause in some way and that will give the Ukrainians the opportunity to strike back."

But only if American taxpayers can cough up another 100 billion or so. So please send in your donations now and we'll give you a nice DVD of our propaganda for a souvenir.

“This statement from the the Chief of Britain’s version of the CIA–i.e., MI6–says much about the pathetic status of British intelligence than it does about Russia’s military prospects in Ukraine.”

“Globohomos”

For a bunch of guys who are always talking about homosexuals why is it that you Russian fanbois have no problem following Putin who runs around bare chested and who wears high heels?

Well, at least we now know that the CIA owns MI6.

I can’t see why Ukraine hasn’t won the war yet. Russia ran out of ammo and missiles 4 months ago, right after Putin was dying of cancer.
