Russia forced to change tactics 

The UK Ministry of Defence has this morning posted an intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine, warning that a change in Russian tactics could result in more civilian deaths, Qazet.az reports.

"The Kremlin has so far failed to achieve its original objectives," the ministry posted on Twitter, adding that Russia had been "surprised by the scale and ferocity of Ukrainian Resistance".

"Russia has been forced to change its operational approach and is now pursuing a strategy of attrition", it says.

"This is likely to involve the indiscriminate use of firepower resulting in increased civilian casualties, destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure, and intensify the humanitarian crisis."
