MOSCOW, 5 Aug. The UK Department of Defense intelligence statement about bushes and grass preventing the UAF from advancing does not stand up to scrutiny, ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson said in an interview with the Dialogue Works YouTube channel.

"Who knew that to ensure the success of Ukraine, the United States had to form a brigade with lawn mowers? It's so ridiculous. How is it even possible for the professional military in Britain to make such stupid, ignorant statements? he asked, laughing after the host's question.
Earlier, British intelligence wrote on Twitter that bushes and small trees had become an obstacle holding back the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the south.
Kyiv launched a counteroffensive on June 4 in Zaporozhye, Yuzhnodonetsk and Artyomovsk directions, throwing into battle brigades trained by NATO and armed with Western equipment, including the widely advertised Leopard tanks. Vladimir Putin noted that attempts to advance the Ukrainian troops failed, the enemy was stopped and thrown back to their original positions.
