Kreminna is under constant pressure from the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Luhansk region. Therefore, in recent days, russia has strengthened the sector of its front line in the vicinity of this city.
Rubryka reports, referring to the intelligence report of the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter as of December 28.
The summary notes that the Luhansk city of Kreminna has been relatively vulnerable since Ukrainian troops advanced through the town of Lyman to the west in October.
According to British intelligence, russia has built new large defense structures in the area. Therefore, it can be assumed that the russian federation will probably pay primary attention to maintaining the front line here.

russia has no sufficient stock of artillery munitions for large-scale offensive in Ukraine - British intelligence
Earlier, British intelligence reported that the other day, the fighting, as before, was concentrated around the Bakhmut sector of the Donetsk region and near Svatove in the Luhansk region.
The head of the Luhansk regional military administration, Serhii Haidai, reported that in the Luhansk region, the russian invaders were able to build a compelling defense in more than a month, which is why very heavy fighting continues in the Kreminna area.
russia is drawing a considerable amount of reserves and equipment to this city.
According to Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, russian troops are preparing for a new large-scale offensive in February next year.
In an interview with The Economist, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, said that the russians are training about 200,000 new soldiers, and the head of the Armed Forces has no doubts that they will go to Kyiv again.
According to him, already in January, but most likely in the spring, the russian federation can launch a major offensive from Donbas in the east, south, or even Belarus.
