The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation can achieve local success by storming coal and Pavlovka - Britain's intelligence
In particular, the department analyzed the situation in the western part of Donetsk region, where active fighting took place. Britain's military intelligence notes that during the last three days of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, they have transferred their intelligence operations in the Pavlovka and Coloral area into a coordinated offensive.
The Office separately reminds that in the fall of 2022 the Kremlin failed units of the 155th Marine Corps, which tried to storm the positions of the Defense Forces of Ukraine on this area of the front. "Elements of the 155th Brigade are again involved in the forces of not less than a brigade, which probably advanced several hundred meters through a small Kashalachach River, which designated the front line for several months.
The Russian command probably seeks to create a new axis of promotion in Ukraine -controlled Donetsk region and distract the Ukrainian forces from the Bakhmut sector, which resists, "the intelligence report reads. The department does not exclude that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, by conducting offensive actions in the area of coal and Pavlovka, can achieve local success in this direction.
However, British scouts doubt that Russia has a sufficient amount of forces needed for an operational breakthrough in the Armed Forces. A few days earlier, the UK Ministry of Defense's military intelligence has already commented on the situation in the western part of Donetsk region. The department has questioned the fact that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation managed to carry out a successful offensive on the coal.
