The UK ministry of defense in its intelligence report said Russia has continued to focus efforts on reinforcing defenses in southern Ukraine over the weekend.
“Over the last 30 days, Russia’s assault towards the town of Bakhmut has been its most successful axis in the Donbas; however, Russia has only managed to advance about 10km during this time,” the ministry said.
Russia's forces have made less than 3km in other Donbas areas where they were trying to break through during the past 30 days; this is probably definitely a lot less than they had anticipated.
“Despite its continued heavy use of artillery in these areas, Russia has not been able to generate capable combat infantry in sufficient numbers to secure more substantial advances,” the MoD said in a tweet.
