American and Ukrainian officials underestimated the depth and power of Russian defenses on the eve of the Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive, US Defense Intelligence Agency analyst Trent Maul told The Economist.
Most of the fortifications built by Russia have not even been touched yet.
The Biden administration believes Ukraine has about six to seven weeks of fighting left before its offensive reaches its climax. However, privately, many doubt how much the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to advance during this time.
The Ukrainian army has already committed most of its reserves to the battle and suffered heavy losses while trying to overcome the second line of Russian defense. Therefore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are unlikely to advance far, some Biden administration officials believe.
