Ukraine’s troops advancing in southern direction - British intelligence

British intelligence analysts commented on the progress of Ukraine’s counteroffensive efforts in the southern operational zone and assessed the challenges faced by both Ukrainian and Russian forces.

This was reported by the British Ministry of Defense on X (former Twitter) with reference to intelligence data, Ukrinform saw.

“Over the last week, most of the front line has remained static. However, in the south, Ukrainian forces have continued their advance along the Mokri Yaly river, securing the village of Urozhaine in the face of stiff Russian resistance,” write British experts.

In the north, the Russian forces continued probing attacks in the Kupiansk area but achieved no significant advances, the report says.

"Across the front, both sides confront a similar challenge: attempting to defeat well-entrenched forces while having limited uncommitted forces to open new assaults," according to the British Ministry of Defense.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, British intelligence in its previous overview said Russia is trying to erase the national identity of Ukrainians in the occupied territories.
