The United Kingdom defense ministry said in its intelligence report that river crossing operations are likely to be amongst the most important determining factors in the course of the war.
The key, 90km long central sector of Russia’s frontline in the Donbas lies to the west of the Siverskyy Donets River.
“To achieve success in the current operational phase of its Donbas offensive, Russia is either going to have to complete ambitious flanking actions or conduct assault river crossings,” the ministry said in a tweet.
The ministry said Ukrainian forces have frequently managed to collapse bridges before withdrawing, whilst Russia has struggled to put in place the sophisticated cooperation required for large-scale river crossings under fire.
