UK Defense Ministry says Russia made ‘minimal ground advances’ over the weekend
The UK Ministry of Defense says Russian forces made “minimal ground advances over the weekend” in an intelligence update.
“It is highly unlikely that Russia has successfully achieved its planned objectives to date,” it says.
“Over the past 24 hours, a high level of Russian air and artillery strikes have continued to hit military and civilian sites in Ukrainian cities. Recent strikes have targeted Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Chernihiv, and been particularly heavy in Mariupol,” it says.
