KYIV, Sep. 18, 2022 (TBINN)
Ukraine continues offensive operations in North-East of the country while Russian forces have established a defensive line between the Oskil River and the town of Svatove, British Military Intelligence has said.
Russia likely sees maintaining control of this zone as important because it is transited by one of the few main resupply routes Russia still controls from the Belgorod region of Russia, the British Defence Ministry said in a regular Twitter update.
Russia will likely attempt to conduct a stubborn defence of this area, but it is unclear whether Russia’s front line forces have sufficient reserves or adequate morale to withstand another concerted Ukrainian assault, it said.
Defence Ministryministry said in a daily intelligence briefing that the line likely is between the Oskil River and Svatove, some 150km South-East of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city.
