Tod Wolters said there “could be” an intelligence gap in the US intelligence gathering that caused the US to overestimate Russia’s capability

General Tod Wolters, commander of US European Command, said there could be an intelligence gap in the US’ intelligence gathering that caused the US to overestimate Russia’s capability and underestimate Ukraine’s defensive capability in the current Ukraine crisis.

Qazet.az reports that Wolters made the comments during a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on Tuesday. 

“There could be and as we’ve always done in the past, when this crisis is over with, we will accomplish a comprehensive after-action review in all domains and in all departments and find out where our weak areas were and make sure we can find ways to improve, and this could be one of those areas,” General Wolters said.
