‘Time on Russia's side’ in conflict in Ukraine – Swiss Intel Report

Moscow, Oct 22 (UNI) Time is on Russia's side in the conflict in Ukraine, with Russia's military potential projected to continue growing in the coming months, the Swiss Federal Intelligence Service (FIS) said in an annual report released on Tuesday.
"Russia remains firmly committed to continuing the war, and its military potential will expand further during the coming months. For the USA and in Europe, on the other hand, it has become politically more difficult to provide the vital aid needed by Ukraine. This means that time is currently on Russia's side," the FIS said.
The FIS said Russian troops have been slowly but steadily gaining territory since mid-2023, picking up pace in summer 2024. Thanks to the ramping up of domestic production of weapons and munitions and greater human resources, the military situation is increasingly shifting in Russia’s favor, it suggested.
