The Zaporizhzhia direction remains a vulnerable section of the front for Russia. Therefore, the Russian military leadership decided to send reinforcements there.
This was reported by the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter.
British intelligence believes that the occupation troops will continue their assault near Bakhmut. But Russia is adjusting its plan for the Donbass after failing to achieve a decisive breakthrough.
"Over the past four days, Russia has continued to launch tactical attacks in the Bakhmut direction northeast of Donetsk, but has made slow progress," the report said.
Due to this, manpower is being moved from the northern sector of Donbass to the south of Ukraine.
Recall, yesterday military intelligence reported that the occupiers were withdrawing troops from some villages in Zaporizhzhia region.
Later, the General Staff stated that the Russian Federation was redeploying forces to the Zaporizhzhia direction.
