The most recent intelligence assessment by the British Ministry of Defense is that Russian forces have made “minimal progress” in their invasion of Ukraine over the past week.
“Ukrainian forces around Kyiv and Mykolaiv continue to frustrate Russian attempts to encircle the cities. The cities of Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, and Mariupol remain encircled and subject to heavy Russian shelling,” the assessment reads.
