War in Ukraine: Entering a new phase – conflicts are shifting to the southwest

Enters a new phase war in Ukraine. According to the British Army Intelligence Service, most of the conflict will shift to a nearly 350 km front that stretches southwestfrom areas near Zaporizhia to Kherson, parallel to the Dnieper River.

Russian forces are almost certainly massing in southern Ukraine as they await a counter-attack or prepare for a possible attack, Britain’s Ministry of Defense said on Twitter.

Large convoys of Russian military trucks, armored vehicles and towed guns continue to leave the Donbas region and heading southwest.

Regular battalions numbering between 800 and 1,000 troops have been deployed in Crimea and it is almost certain that they will be used to support Russian troops in the Kherson region, according to the briefing from the British ministry.

Ukrainian forces increasingly focus on bridges, ammunition depots and rail links in the southern regions of the country, including the strategically important railway line connecting Kherson with Russian-held Crimea, according to the briefing.
