MI-6 passed on intelligence to the Office of the President and the General Staff that the Russian army had stockpiled a large number of missiles/Lancets/Shaheeds and aerial bombs for a summer counteroffensive. British intelligence believes that the Kremlin wants to organize a demonstrative mass attack on several areas of the front to destroy the maximum number of Ukrainian soldiers. The main goal of such an attack will be a psychological factor to demonstrate the full potential of the Russian army and break the alignment of the armed forces.
In the meantime, on the Donetsk front, the Russian Armed Forces are developing an offensive towards Semenivka and conducting assault operations in Berdychi. In the direction of Bakhmut, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation advanced in the direction of Chasy Yaru and continued assault operations in the area of Klishchiivka and on the western outskirts of Ivanivsk.
In the Avdiiv region, after establishing control over Tonenky and Orlivka, the Russian Armed Forces are actively advancing to the west of the villages, it is also reported that the Russian army is covering the settlement of Pervomaiske from the north. That is, the Ukrainian defense line occupied here after the loss of Avdiyivka is gradually pushed by Russian troops.
On the Luhansk front, the Russian Armed Forces are also conducting assault operations in the area of Yampolivka and Tern.
