In its latest intelligence update, the MoD reported that, following a counter-offensive from Ukraine, Russia has likely ordered the withdrawal of its troops from the entirety of occupied Kharkiv Oblast west of the Oskil River. It added that, although small pockets of resistance still remain, “since Wednesday, Ukraine has recaptured territory at least twice the size of Greater London”. The MoD has reported that Ukraine’s fierce resistance means the majority of Russian invaders are “highly likely being forced to prioritise emergency defensive actions.” It said that the “already limited” trust deployed Russian troops have in their leaders is likely to “deteriorate further”.

Russia responding to Ukraine’s recent successes in ‘heavy handed way’ says Lord Dannatt
Russia is responding to Ukraine’s recent successes in Kharkiv in a “typically heavy-handed way, Lord Dannatt, a retired senior British Army Officer has said.
He told Sky News: “They know that they’ve had a significant reverse on the battlefield, so they’re lashing out in other ways to try and restore their position.”
He said targeting a power station was an example of Moscow “blindly lashing out”.
He added: “The resistance and the attitude that you’re seeing from the Ukrainian people is ‘yes, no, we don’t like the darkness, we don’t like the lack of water, but we will win through, they will not break our spirit’.
“And I think that is the other critical issue. Morale in Ukraine and morale amongst the Ukrainian forces is sky high.”
