The Russian military presence on Ukraine's eastern border continues to grow, and enemy missile strikes are possible throughout the country. This was reported by the UK Ministry of Defense on Twitter.
"The Russian military presence on Ukraine's eastern border continues to grow, and fighting in the Donbas is intensifying as they try to break through Ukraine's defenses," the statement said.
According to British intelligence, Russian aviation activity in northern Ukraine is likely to remain low since the withdrawal of troops from northern Kiev. However, the risk of high-precision strikes against priority targets across Ukraine remains.
In addition, attacks on cities across Ukraine show the occupiers' intention to try to prevent the movement of Ukrainian reinforcements and weapons to the east of the country.
According to the AFU General Staff, the occupiers suffered losses and retreated near Marinka, Donetsk Region, as a result of a counterattack by Ukrainian troops.
