Some Russian units have returned to Belarus after suffering heavy battlefield losses in Ukraine, according to the UK Ministry of Defense in an intelligence update on Wednesday.
The units will need to reorganize and resupply in the country, in what the ministry says is an indication of the logistical difficulties Russia is facing in Ukraine.
“Russia will likely continue to compensate for its reduced ground maneuverability through mass artillery and missile strikes,” the update reads.
THE CNN did not independently confirm the units’ return to Belarus.
Reduction of military activity
Russia’s Defense Ministry said this week that it will “drastically reduce military activity” on two fronts – Kiev and Chernihiv – after in-person talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul. Instead, Russia said it would now focus more of its offensive on the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in Ukraine’s far east.
The UK said it believed this shift was a “tacit admission that it is struggling to sustain more than one significant axis of advancement”.
