England: Russia has intensified its attacks in eastern Ukraine.
The British Ministry of Defense claimed that Russia has increased its attacks along the Donetsk sector of the Donbas region in the past five days with the aim of engaging the Ukrainian forces and neutralizing the counterattack.
According to the British Ministry of Defence, Russia has probably increased its attacks along the Donetsk sector of the Donbass region over the past five days, an action that, according to this claim, could be aimed at sucking Ukrainian forces and neutralizing a counterattack.
According to Reuters, the ministry announced on Saturday (August 27) in its information update that heavy fighting took place near the Russian-controlled cities of Seversk and Bakhmut, north of Donetsk.
The MoD went on to claim: “There is a realistic possibility that Russia has stepped up its efforts in the Donbass in an attempt to engage or trap additional Ukrainian units amid speculation that Kiev is planning a major counteroffensive. ».
Earlier, the intelligence department of the British army, while claiming that the Russians’ progress in their operations was minimal, said that the war in Ukraine has become costly and harmful for Russia after six months.
Following the beginning of Russia’s conflict with Ukraine, while condemning Moscow and intensifying economic pressures, Western countries have put all-round political, financial, and weapons support for Kiev on the agenda. Despite the support of the West, in the field, Russia has managed to control Luhansk in the eastern Donbass region of Ukraine and is trying to dominate all regions of Donetsk.
Recently, “Maria Zakharova”, the spokesperson of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated: “The return of Crimea to Russia, the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics are territorial realities that Ukraine and other countries must accept.”
He added: The legal and wise choice of the people and the right of nations to determine their own destiny should be respected based on the United Nations Charter, and based on this, Crimea has returned to Russia and the two republics of Donetsk and Luhansk have also become independent states.
