‘Intense combat’ in Donetsk: UK defence ministry

The UK’s Ministry of Defence has said heavy fighting is taking place in Pavlivka and Vuhledar, two towns in eastern Donetsk province. There has been intense combat in the area over the last two weeks, it said.

“This area remains heavily contested, likely partially because Russia assesses the area has potential as a launch point for a future major advance north to capture the remainder of Ukrainian-held Donetsk Oblast,” the ministry said.

“However, Russia is unlikely to be able to concentrate sufficient quality forces to achieve an operational breakthrough.
