He added, “According to our information, the last time the invasion was postponed to mid-February. The FSB (Federal Security Service of Russia) pushed Gerasimov into the invasion. The Russians were confident that they had made proper preparations because they had invested huge resources in it.”

In addition, the Ukrainian intelligence services received a lot of information from the local population, who accurately stated “the number of invaders in every inhabited place and in any building.”

Did he want a surprise?

Although the Ukrainian authorities did not give reasons why Vladimir Putin “three times” – as they claim – postponed his invasion of their country, “excitement” prevailed regarding the date of the Russian attack, in the winter of the authorities.

It is noteworthy that the US Biden administration “gave” possible dates for the invasion, with Russia denying these estimates each time.

Along with this, the secret services, mainly in the United States and Britain, and secondly from Ukraine, were transmitting information about the movements of the Russian leader, while also indicating the possible dates of the attack.

Therefore, it is not unlikely that Vladimir Putin will surprise the Ukrainians and their allies, and this may be the reason why he postponed the Russian invasion three times.
