The fiercest fighting will move to the front line from Zaporozhye to Kherson parallel to the Dnieper River, according to British intelligence.
Russia is concentrating its main forces in southern Ukraine in anticipation of a UAF counter-offensive or in preparation for a possible offensive. This was reported by the British Ministry of Defense in Twitter on Saturday, August 6th.
“The war between Russia and Ukraine will soon enter a new phase, when the fiercest fighting will move to the front line with a length of about 350 kilometers, which stretches southwest from Zaporozhye to Kherson, parallel on the Dnieper River,” the message said. .
According to British intelligence, there is information about the movement of equipment from Russian-occupied Melitopol, Berdyansk, Mariupol and from the Russian mainland via the Kerch bridge to Crimea.
Battalion tactical groups (BTGs), numbering between 800 and 1,000 troops, have been deployed in Crimea and will almost certainly be used to support Russian troops in the Kherson region. In addition, on August 2, a new BTG was transferred to Crimea, and the BTG was also redeployed from the Eastern Group of Forces. Most likely, in the coming days they will be sent to the Kherson region.
In this regard, Ukrainian forces are focusing their strikes on bridges, ammunition depots and railway lines in the southern regions. Targets include a strategically important rail link linking Kherson to Russian-occupied Crimea to try to influence Russia’s ability to resupply.
Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Russia could not help the transfer of forces to the south of Ukraine. He emphasized that strategically, the Russian aggressors have no chance of winning this war.
