U.S. intelligence believes that the weapons provided to Ukraine will not immediately change the situation on the battlefield. That is why the Pentagon is giving "gloomy" forecasts about the war.

This was reported by CNN.

Media sources say that Russia has drawn conclusions from its mistakes that were made in the early stages. The Russian Federation has now established coordination of air and ground attacks, as well as logistics on the front lines.

"The U.S. does not expect the new weapon systems recently delivered to Ukrainian forces, including the HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system, to make an immediate difference on the battlefield," the report said.

The reasons for this are the limited range of the MLRS and the insufficient number of missiles that have been transferred to Ukraine. In addition, CNN claims that the Russian army has already destroyed some of the equipment handed over by Western partners, in particular the M777 howitzers.

U.S. intelligence predicts heavy losses of manpower and equipment on both sides. The U.S. also believes that the war has finally moved to the exhaustion stage, and Russia wants to test the Ukrainian Armed Forces and NATO's resolve.
