Fighting in the Donbass is intensifying.
Russian military forces are concentrated in eastern Ukraine, however the risk of missile strikes on priority targets throughout Ukraine remains, according to the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter.
“The activity of Russian aviation in the north of Ukraine is likely to remain low since its departure from the north of Kiev. However, the risk of high-precision strikes on priority targets throughout Ukraine remains, “the statement said.
In addition, the British Defense Ministry notes that Russia's military presence on Ukraine's eastern border continues to grow, and fighting in Donbass is growing stronger as Russian troops try to break through Ukraine's defenses.
