Ukraine-News ++ London expects “local regional gains” but no Russian progress ++

EAccording to British military experts, significant progress in the war of aggression by Russian troops in Ukraine is currently unlikely. This emerged from the Ministry of Defense’s daily intelligence update in London. According to this, Russian commanders are trying to advance into Donetsk Oblast, which is currently controlled by Ukraine. “There is a realistic possibility that Russia will continue to make local territorial gains in the region,” the report said. However, significant progress was not possible due to insufficient contingent troops.

Since Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine began in late February last year, the British Ministry of Defense has been issuing daily updates on the progress of the war, citing intelligence. By doing so, the British government wants to counter the Russian portrayal and keep allies in line. Moscow accuses London of a disinformation campaign targeting London.
