British intelligence: The area near Svatovo has become more vulnerable to the occupiers

< p> Maintaining control over the occupied settlement of Svatovo, Lugansk region, will probably be a priority for the Russian army. This is stated in the intelligence report of the British Ministry of Defense.

It is reported that over the past week, artillery skirmishes have continued in the Svatovo area. On this sector of the front, the invaders are trying to build defensive structures and strengthen the defense with partially manned and poorly trained reservists.

Intelligence believes that Svatovo becomes a more vulnerable flank after the liberation of the western bank of the Dnieper. Given the fact that Svatovo is an important settlement in the Luhansk region, the Russian command is likely to make maintaining control over it a political priority.

At the same time, the Russian occupiers are trying to maintain defense and simultaneously advance in the Donetsk region, but their opportunities are limited by the lack of ammunition and qualified personnel.
