Russian forces are steadily advancing westward in Donetsk Oblast, having taken control of several villages and moving closer to the key logistical hub of Pokrovsk, the UK Defense Ministry reported on X on July 30.
The Russians have pushed northward toward the town of Niu York, the report said.
Russia is likely to continue its tactical advances in the coming weeks, analysts said.
"However, its overall operational capability remains limited by several factors including a high attrition rate, limited training, and a shortage of officers," the report said.
