Ukrainian army continues to advance along Mokry Yaly river despite fierce Russian resistance – British intelligence

The UK Ministry of Defense reports.

"In the south, Ukrainian forces have continued their advance along the course of Mokry Yaly river, securing the village of Urozhaine in the face of stiff Russian resistance," the statement reads.

At the same time, according to intelligence, in the north of Ukraine, Russian troops continue to attack near Kupyansk, but have no significant success.

"Across the front, both sides confront a similar challenge: attempting to defeat well-entrenched forces while having limited uncommitted forces to open new assaults," the intelligence service noted.

• Analysts at the Institute of the Study of War believe that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have many options to cut off critical Russian land routes along the northern coast of the Sea of Azov, and deoccupation of Melitopol is only one of them.
