As noted in the report, in the north, in the Kupyansk region, the western group of Russian troops continues to conduct a large-scale, but ineffective offensive operation.
In addition, in the northern Donetsk region, Ukraine has maintained a stable front line in the face of small Russian attacks in the Bakhmut area.
According to British intelligence, active fighting for Avdeevka continues, while Russian troops built on gains made in late December 2023 around Marinka, where they finally advanced to the western edge of the city after nine years of fighting in the area.
“In southern Ukraine, Russian airborne troops are likely to have made minimal progress in a new attempt to dislodge the Ukrainian bridgehead on the eastern bank of the Dnieper near the village of Krynki,” the British Ministry of Defense notes.
Situation at the front
Let us remind you that the reserve colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military expert Sergei Grabsky, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, said that Ukrainian troops are confidently defending in different directions, the dynamics of the battles are extremely high, so the situation at the front is not yet a stalemate.
Grabsky stated that the only promising direction for the offensive of the Ukrainian army is the south, because without a strategic solution to the issue of the South it is impossible to talk about any advance to the East.
