British intelligence suggests that Russia is unlikely to succeed in making a breakthrough near Vuhledar in the Donetsk region — the daily report of the UK Ministry of Defence

They assume there is a realistic possibility that Russia is preparing for another offensive effort in this area despite costly failed attacks in early February 2023 and late 2022. 

According to intelligence reports, the Vostok group of troops has responsibility for the fighting near the city. 

Its commander, Colonel General Rustam Muradov, is likely under intense pressure to improve results following harsh criticism by some circles in Russia.

"However, it is unlikely that Muradov has a striking force capable of making a breakthrough," the report reads.
