• Moscow’s soldiers will be transferred to East Ukraine to fight in the Donbas region
The British Ministry of Defence said in an intelligence report that Russian soldiers have now completely retreated from northern Ukraine.
“At least some of these forces will be transferred to East Ukraine to fight in the Donbas,” the report says. The report adds that many of these soldiers will need to be replenished before they can deploy farther east, and any substantial redeployment from the north will likely take at least a week.
“Russian shelling of cities in the east and south continues, and Russian forces have advanced further south from the strategically important city of Izium, which remains under their control,” British MoD said in a Tweet.
Meanwhile, Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, and Josep Borrell Fontelles, the European Union’s foreign policy leader, are on their way to meet President Zelenskyy in Ukraine’s capital Kyiv.
