Russian forces intensify assaults on front line, sustain more losses – UK Defense Intelligence
There was an increase in Russian assaults on the front line in Ukraine, which, however, led to increased losses, the UK Ministry of Defense said referring to the UK Defense Intelligence update.
"Additional data from the Ukrainian General Staff comparing the 14-18 January 2024 period with the previous five-day period supports this uptick in Russian assaults. Over these five-day periods the number of military vehicle losses by Russia increased by 88 per cent and the number of Russian tank losses increased by 95 per cent," it said on X Social Network on January 21.
This data points towards a steady increase in the intensity of Russian offensive activity in Ukraine. A key enabler for this is highly likely the freezing ground conditions, which allows cross=country movement of armored vehicles.
