"Наступ росіян сповільнився за останні тижні, ймовірно, частково через значні втрати під час кампанії в Авдіївці", – вважає розвідка.
The British defense ministry states that the situation in this area of the front remains unstable, and the shortage of personnel and ammunition is likely to limit the ability of Ukrainian forces to hold their positions.
Russian forces have intensified their assaults at the front, while Ukrainian forces are holding their positions near Avdiivka, preventing the enemy from advancing further.
British intelligence claims that Chasiv Yar near Bakhmut is likely to be the next target in the Donetsk region, as it is currently located about 5 km from the front line.
