Summary
- Western planners underestimated Russian moral strength and assumed their defense lines would collapse upon breach.
- Ukrainian brigade training was insufficient, too administrative, and short.
- Western equipment is considered less efficient than Soviet due to maintenance issues and degraded mode capabilities.
- The report emphasizes Russian superiority in defensive tactics with heavy machinery for fortification.
- The Russian army is recognized as the technical reference for defensive strategies.
- Western press reported Moscow’s lack of interest in soldiers’ lives, but confidential reports suggest otherwise.
- Russians practice “Maskirovka,” appearing weak to hide their true strength.
- A stampede occurred during the loss of Avdiivka on February 17.
- Macron presented other reports to political opponents, challenging Western press’s underestimation of Russian capabilities.
- Ukrainian general staff lacks a critical mass of ground forces capable of breaking through Russian defensive lines.
- The most serious error is seeking exclusively military solutions to end hostilities.
- A French officer concludes that Ukraine cannot win the war militarily due to insufficient forces.
- Ukrainian soldiers’ fighting spirit is affected by ongoing conflict.
- Zelensky needs 35,000 men per month but isn’t recruiting half of them while Putin draws from a pool of 30,000 volunteers each month.
- The Ukrainian failure at Avdiivka demonstrates that Kiev is not capable of re-establishing the collapsing front with an “elite” brigade’s dispatch.
Damn was kinda hoping it would have something official to disprove Macron talking about sending boots in. I’m not entirely convinced it’s just posturing.
Given that no one had said anything like that till now it seemed almost assuredly about a future reality.
I really think he would do it.
Can anyone confirm the rank of the person who made the report?

Lmao, I guess “Keep It Simple, Stupid” seems to be the superior philosophy.
It’s hard to make something simple. Much easier (and more profitable) to make an overengineered piece of crap that will require your Certified Specialist ™ for any repairs
And a high volume of spare parts you manufacture and sell to keep it running
