War in Ukraine: British Secret Service: Moscow reinforces front near Kreminna

According to British estimates, the Russian military is under constant pressure from the Ukrainian armed forces near the small town of Kreminna in eastern Ukraine.

Russia has likely strengthened its front line in the area in Luhansk Oblast in recent days, the British Ministry of Defense said in its regular intelligence update. It has established extensive new defenses there and will likely focus on holding the position.

From a logistical point of view, the area is important for the Russian front in eastern Ukraine's Donbass, and Kreminna is also an important city in Luhansk, the ministry wrote. The Kremlin is using the "liberation" of the area as a justification for the aggressive war against Ukraine.

Kreminna is located north of the industrial town of Bakhmut, which has been the subject of war for months. The situation has also recently deteriorated near the small town itself.

The British Ministry of Defense has published daily information on the course of the war since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine at the end of February, citing intelligence information. In doing so, the British government wants to both counter the Russian portrayal and keep allies in line. Moscow accuses London of a targeted disinformation campaign.
