The Russian Federation may transfer part of the troops

withdrawn from Kherson

to the Bakhmut direction in the Donetsk region.

This was reported by the intelligence of Great Britain on Twitter.

According to her, after the withdrawal of troops to the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region, the occupiers continue to re-equip and prepare for defense in most areas of the front.

Occupying units built new trench systems near the border with Crimea, as well as near the Siverskyi Donets River between the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Some of these defense lines are located 60 km from the front line.

This may indicate that the Russians are preparing for a further counteroffensive of the Armed Forces.

In addition, British intelligence believes that the Russian Federation will transfer part of the troops from the south to the Bakhmut region.

"It is quite likely that Russia will eventually try to redeploy part of the forces withdrawn from Kherson to strengthen and expand its offensive operations near the city of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region," British intelligence said.
