"Russian troops continue attacks in order to expand the control of Bakhmut city in eastern Ukraine, which Russia seized in May 2023," the statement said. British intelligence notes that the occupation troops of the Russian Federation have advanced and took the positions of the eastern part of the settlement of Ivanivske, located west of Bakhmut. The enemy also attacks the positions of defense forces in Bogdanivka.
"In this direction, the closest operative goal of Russia is almost undoubtedly capturing a time ravine, located about 5 km from the front line," the British Defense Ministry said. Meanwhile, it is emphasized that despite the tactical successes of the Armed Forces in this direction, it is unlikely that Russian troops currently have forces for a full -scale storming of the city.
