The agency notes that Russian troops have in recent days increased the intensity of shelling of Kherson and other settlements located on the right bank of the Dnieper. In its report, intelligence gives an example of an artillery blow to the regional center on January 29, which killed at least three civilians and a few more people were injured. In addition, two foreign vessels were damaged, which led to the spill of petroleum products.
The UK's military intelligence calls Kherson the city, which most often undergoes massive shelling, except not to take into account the situation in the Donbass. "The exact reason why Russia spends its exhausted ammunition stocks is unclear.
However, the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation partially aims to reduce the moral spirit of the civilian population and restrain any Ukrainian counterattack through the Dnieper,"-added in the office Commenting on the increased intensity of Kherson shelling and surrounding settlements.
On the eve of January 31, the UK Ministry of Defense Military Intelligence commented on the situation in eastern Ukraine and the restoration of active fighting in the western part of Donetsk region. The department assumes that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation purposefully carry out the offensive on Pavlovka and coal, trying to distract the attention of Ukrainian servicemen from Bakhmut.
