Eh, not always. The Red Orchestra was arguably one of the (if not the) most successful intelligence operations in WW2. Their problem is not really intelligence collection, I would guess they are reasonably good at it, but the entire apparatus is so corrupt and useless that it is unable to turn that intelligence into anything useful.

There is a huge Russian ammunition depot in Transnistria, which Ukraine would like to have in return for a little help to Moldavia to get Transnistria back under their control. The Cobasna ammunition depot has been referred to as one of the largest if not the largest ammunition depot in Eastern Europe contains up to 20,000 tons of Soviet-era weapons from the 14th Guards Army of the USSR and also from the former states of Czechoslovakia and East Germany. Currently, it is guarded by around 1,500 Russian soldiers.
