Russian gains in Donbas have come at a “significant cost” to its forces, the UK ministry of defence has said in its latest intelligence report, APA reports citing The Guardian.
Released just after 6am GMT, the report reads:
"The Battle of Donbas remains Russia’s main strategic focus, in order to achieve its stated aim of securing control over the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.
In these oblasts fighting has been particularly heavy around Lysychansk and Severodonetsk, with an attempted advance south from Izium towards Slovyansk.
Due to strong Ukrainian resistance, Russian territorial gains have been limited and achieved at significant cost to Russian forces."
