Russia continues its attacks in the direction of Donbas. British intelligence

Over the past week, Russian troops have advanced in both directions toward Bakhmut, making a breakthrough closer. Those forces likely included units of the Wagner Military Company, including militants recently rounded up from Russian prisons.

Russia's continued push for ongoing offensives in the Donbas, despite severe threats in the wings of the armed forces, underscores the need for tactical success for the Russian military and the lack of operational flexibility in their operations that has so far undermined their plans.
