The British Ministry of Defense wrote on Saturday that Russian troops' power has been so 'depleted' that local offensives are no longer 'sustainable.'
Russian soldiers fighting for control of Bakhmut have seen their"lowest rates" of offensive actions in recent days amid a"depletion" of troops' power in the Ukrainian city, according to British intelligence.
Both Ukraine and Russia have put up a fierce fight to control the city, as experts say Russia taking the city would offer its troops more of a symbolic than strategic victory. Moscow, fighting alongside the paramilitary unit, has touted its gains in the city to counter reports that its military has struggled throughout the war.
Ukrainian soldiers are seen firing a M777 howitzer near Bakhmut on Friday. Amid the battle for Bakhmut, a city in eastern Ukraine, the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense on Saturday said Russian troops have made fewer offenses in recent days."Russia is conducting some of the lowest rates of local offensive action that has been seen since at least January 2023," the update reads.
