| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [LB] According to the British Ministry, the occupiers want to control the roads that will allow them to advance towards Kurakhovo. One of Russia's goals in the battles for Maryinka is further advancement in the direction of Kurakhovo. As of now, the territory controlled by Ukrainian forces within Maryinka has decreased. One of Russia's operational objectives in the area is likely to be to control the 00510 and N15 highways, with an eventual push further west towards the city of Kurakhove. This is stated in the intelligence report of the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain, published in X. "Despite gradual progress, a large, operationally significant Russian breakthrough in this sector remains extremely unlikely," the British believe. Heavy fighting is currently going on for control over the destroyed city of Marinka in the Donetsk region and the surrounding areas in the south of Ukraine. |
