Ukraine War: Russian forces are unable to progress on the Dnipro
First report
: According to British assessments, Russian forces are still making no progress in their attacks on a Ukrainian position on the Dnipro River.
The British Ministry of Defense in London announced on Saturday that they had failed in all attempts to drive out the Ukrainians there.
The Russians are most likely superior in terms of strength there.
Ukraine War: Russia can't seem to make any progress on the Dnipro
“It is very likely that the poor training and coordination of Russian forces in this area limits their offensive capabilities,” the British wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
It is an important goal of the Russians to force Ukraine to retreat on the south bank of the river.
The British assume that Russia will therefore continue its attacks around the town of Krynky in southern Ukraine in the coming weeks “despite increasing personnel losses”.
The Ukrainians hold a so-called bridgehead on the river.
The ministry in London said they had repelled the attacks so far, but had problems with supplies.
Moscow accuses London of disinformation.
