Fighting in Ukraine brings little change to the front line
According to the British Ministry of Defense, the fighting in Ukraine is hardly bringing any changes to the front line. Russia is continuing to try individual attacks. "A major breakthrough by Russia is unlikely and the front is generally characterized by stagnation," the ministry in London announced on the short message service X on Wednesday.
Ukraine has made efforts to strengthen its fortifications in recent weeks, the British wrote. Ukrainian forces would take a more defensive stance along a large part of the front line.
About three weeks ago, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the accelerated construction of shelters and fortifications along all sections of the frontline.
Ukraine has also been working on expanding its defenses on the border with Belarus with anti-tank barriers ("dragon's teeth"), barbed wire and anti-tank ditches, the British ministry wrote.
Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine, the ministry has regularly published information on the course of the war. Moscow accuses London of disinformation.
