Russia continues to launch tactical attacks on Bakhmut axis, says UK
- Moscow is likely to relocate a significant number of forces from northern Donbas to southern Ukraine
The UK ministry of defense in its intelligence report said Russia has continued to attempt tactical assaults on the Bakhmut axis, northeast of Donetsk but only managed to make slow progress.
“As briefed by the Ukrainian authorities last week, Russia is likely reallocating a significant number of its forces from the northern Donbas sector to southern Ukraine,” the ministry said in its report.
Russia is most likely rethinking the operational strategy of its Donbas assault after failing to achieve a clear operational breakthrough under the plan it has been pursuing since April, the report said.
“It has likely identified its Zaporizhzhia front as a vulnerable area in need of reinforcement,” the MoD said in a tweet.
