UK intelligence reveals what helps Russia's army advance at frontline

This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense. 

According to intelligence, Russian ground troops are making further tactical advances in several areas of the front.

"The focus of Russian operations almost certainly remains in central Donetsk oblast. Recent Russian advances have brought the city of Pokrovsk within approximately 16km from the current frontline. Pokrovsk is a significant logistical hub which supports Ukrainian operations in Donetsk oblast," the statement said.

In addition, according to Britain, Russia continues to make progress in the city of New York, which could threaten Toretsk.

"Russia continues to rely on costly infantry-led assaults to make gradual advances into Ukrainian territory," the intelligence officers wrote.

• Russian forces are preparing for assault operations in the areas of multi-storey buildings and the aggregate plant in Vovchansk.
