Attacks in eastern Ukraine have been increasing again for almost a week. The British secret service sees this as a calculation by Moscow.
According to British findings, the Russian army has recently intensified its attacks in eastern Ukraine. In the past five days, the intensity of Russian attacks near the city of Donetsk has increased again, the Ministry of Defense in London said on Saturday, citing intelligence findings. With the attacks, the Russian troops probably wanted to tie up additional Ukrainian troops in the east in order to complicate an expected Ukrainian counter-offensive in the south of the country, it said.
There was heavy fighting near the cities of Siwersk and Bakhmut north of Donetsk. Troops of the Moscow-loyal separatists are believed to have advanced further into the center of the village of Pisky near the destroyed Donetsk airport, it said. Overall, however, the Russian units only gained a little ground.
The British Ministry of Defense has published unprecedented information on the course of the war since the start of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine in late February, citing intelligence information. In doing so, the British government wants to both counter the Russian portrayal and keep allies in line. Moscow accuses London of a targeted disinformation campaign.
