The Russian Federation is trying to restore the reputation of the brigade that failed the attack on Vuhledar – British intelligence
Failures at the front are increasingly associated with the Russian top military leadership.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation is purposefully carrying out an information operation to restore the reputation of the «elite» brigade of Russian marines, which has already become synonymous with the total defeats of the Russian Federation in Ukraine.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain on Twitter.
In fact, the 155th brigade was probably transferred to a combat-ready status at least twice in the past six months due to the fact that it made tactically erroneous frontal attacks near Vuhledar in Donetsk region, according to intelligence officers.
«Attempts of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to revive the image of the brigade probably reflect concern that its failures are increasingly associated with the top military leadership of Russia,» the report says.
