Over the last month, the Russians failed to achieve significant success in the military campaign in Donbas.

This was announced on Twitter by the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain with reference to intelligence data.

It is noted that over the past 30 days, the Russian offensive on the city of Bakhmut was the most successful in Donbas, but during this time, Russia managed to advance only 10 km there.

In other parts of Donbas, where the Russian Federation tried to break through, during this 30-day period, its forces could not advance more than 3 km.

"It is almost certainly much less than planned," the Ministry of Defense emphasized.

Analysts say that despite the constant intensive use of artillery in these areas, the Russian Federation has not been able to create combat-ready infantry in sufficient numbers to ensure more significant successes.

We will remind you that last day the enemy advanced near Krasnohorivka and Avdievka , but was repulsed and retreated. The offensive continues in the Bakhmut and Avdievka directions.

Ukrainian aviation and missile and artillery units continue to fire successfully at concentrations of manpower, military equipment of the Russian occupiers, and warehouses with ammunition. As a result of the losses, the enemy's personnel in many areas refused to go into battle and resorted to sabotage.
