The Avdiivka-Pokrovsk sector in the east of Ukraine is likely to remain the main focus of russian efforts, and there has been a high level of russian operations there over the past week.
The Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom has announced this on X.
"It is highly likely that Russia is continuing to set conditions for an attack on Pokrovsk. Russian forces have partially encircled the outlying town of Selydove and will highly likely attempt to seize the town in the coming weeks," the report says.
It is indicated that in the same sector russia advanced to the center of the town of Toretsk. However, progress is slow, and russian positions in the town are vulnerable to Ukrainian counterattacks.
"Following the seizure of Vuhledar at the beginning of October 2024, Russian forces have only made minor advances beyond the town, which lies on the intersection between the two key fronts of Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk," the intelligence added.
According to the British intelligence, in Zaporizhzhia there are some signs of an attempt to intensify russian offensive operations in the eastern part of the sector: according to reports, russian troops have occupied the village of Kamianske, located on the main Zaporizhzhia-Melitopol road.
"This area has remained relatively static for over a year, but it remains to be seen whether Russian troops will be able to support further offensive operations in this area," the department said.
