The UK Ministry of Defense said this in its latest intelligence update on the situation in Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.
“Russia is probably adjusting the operational design of its Donbas offensive after failing to make a decisive operational breakthrough under the plan it had been following since April,” the statement reads.
It is noted that over the last four days, Russia has continued to attempt tactical assaults on the Bakhmut axis, northeast of Donetsk, only managing to make slow progress.
The ministry added that it has likely identified its Zaporizhzhia front as a vulnerable area in need of reinforcement.
As reported by Ukrinform, the Armed Forces of Ukraine eliminated 41,030 Russian soldiers in Ukraine from February 24 to August 1, including 200 on July 31.
