Ukrainian troops use first weeks' offensive experience, advance in key areas — UK Intelligence

The UK Ministry of Defense reports this on Twitter.

According to intelligence, in recent days Ukrainian soldiers have regrouped and continued to conduct offensive operations in three main directions - in the south and east of Ukraine.

"Ukrainian forces are using the experiences from the first two weeks of the counter-offensive to refine tactics for assaulting the deep, well prepared Russian defenses. Ukrainian units are making gradual but steady tactical progress in key areas," the analysts emphasize.

At the same time, it is noted that in the In Luhansk region, Russian forces have made their own significant effort to launch an attack in the Serebryanka Forest near Kreminna.

Probably, Russia’s steps reflect the orders of the Russian military leadership to go on the offensive at any opportunity.

"Russia has made some small gains, but Ukrainian forces have prevented a breakthrough," added the intelligence.

• On June 25, the General Staff reported that Russia continues to focus on the Lyman, Avdiivka, and Marinka directions. During the day, 29 combat clashes took place at the front.
