Russia concentrated in the south-east

The UK's Ministry of Defence has published its morning update on the conflict.

Qazet.az reports that the UK has observed a concentration of Russian air activity on Ukraine's south-east - which it suggests is part of a strategic refocusing by Moscow on the region.

While Russian forces may still be capable of an amphibious landing on Ukrainian territory, the UK believes this would be an increasingly risky operation given the time Ukrainian forces have now had to prepare.
