Meanwhile, the Russian army in Donbas may soon lose its advantage.
Despite the July 13 negotiations between the delegation Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and the UN on grain exports and recent successful prisoner exchanges, the prospects for wider negotiations to end the war remain low, the British Ministry of Defense said.
At the same time, British intelligence analysts point out that although in Donbas, Russian troops continue to carry out artillery strikes on a wide front, and after some there are even attempts to storm small company and platoon units, however, in the last 72 hours, they have not achieved a significant territorial advance, and they are in danger of losing any advantage gained after the capture of Lysychansk.
“Obsolete Soviet-era vehicles, weapons, and tactics used by Russian forces do not lend themselves to rapid recovery or ramp-up unless they are used to a significant advantage – which Russia is currently unable to apply it,” British intelligence said.
