Ukrainian troops gains impetus in Bakhmut offensive - British intelligence

The British Ministry of Defense reported the information on Twitter.

It noted that during the operation involving several brigades, Ukrainian forces advanced on both the northern and southern flanks of Bakhmut.

"There has been little evidence that Russia maintains any significant ground forces operational level reserves which could be used to reinforce against the multiple threats it is now facing in widely separated sectors, from Bakhmut to the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, over 200km away," the British Ministry of Defense said.

• On Monday, June 26, Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar said that Ukrainian troops in the eastern direction launched counteroffensives late last week in the areas of Orikhovo-Vasylivka, Bakhmut, Bohdanivka, Yahidne, Klishchiivka and Kurdyumivka. In each direction, they have advanced 1 to 2 kilometers. Now the troops are consolidating their positions and destroying enemy troops.
