Russian forces are targeting populated areas in Ukraine but the strength of resistance has slowed the Russian advance, British military intelligence reveals.
In its daily intelligence report, the UK’s ministry of defence said the strength of Ukraine’s resistance continues to surprise Russia, which has responded by targeting cities including Kharkiv, Chirnihiv and Mariupol.
Russia is now “attempting to conceal fuel trucks as regular support trucks in an effort to conceal losses.”
It responded by targeting populated areas in multiple locations, including Kharkiv, Chernihiv and Mariupol.
This is likely to represent an effort to break Ukrainian morale.
Russia has repeatedly denied that it is targeting civilian areas, but according to The Gguardian Russia has previously used similar tactics in Chechnya in 1999 and Syria in 2016, employing both air and ground-based munitions.
The intelligence report also says that there is a realistic possibility.
