Russia yet to achieve significant breakthrough - UK MoD

Latest updates from MoD

We're getting the latest intelligence report on Ukraine from the UK's Ministry of Defence. It says Russia has "made minor advances in some areas since shifting its focus to fully occupying the Donbas", Qazet.az reports.

But it says that "without sufficient logistical and combat support enablers in place, Russia has yet to achieve a significant breakthrough".

It continues: "Russia’s decision to besiege rather than attack Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant means many Russian units remain fixed in the city and cannot be redeployed. Ukraine’s defence of Mariupol has also exhausted many Russian units and reduced their combat effectiveness.
