British intel: Zaporizhzhia front faces increased pressure after Russia captures Vuhledar
British intelligence has pinpointed two likely objectives for Russia's next offensive after capturing Vuhledar in Donetsk Oblast: Velyka Novosilka to the west and Bohoiavlenka to the north.
British intelligence suggests that Russian forces are likely to press their advantage in Donetsk Oblast in the coming weeks, potentially advancing beyond recently captured Vuhledar.
On 2 October, Ukrainian forces withdrew from Vuhledar, a strategically important town in southern Donetsk Oblast. The town had been a target of Russian military operations for the past two years, with previous attempts to seize it resulting in substantial Russian casualties.
British intelligence identified two possible objectives for further Russian offensive: Velyka Novosilka to the west in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and Bohoiavlenka, 8 kilometers (4.9 miles) to the north. This move would significantly enhance Russian logistics and mobility in the region.
