This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia has been carrying out offensive operations in the area of Avdiivka, a small city just to the north of Donetsk.
The moves have been largely unsuccessful so far, with Russia gaining marginal ground but suffering high losses to its personnel and weaponry.
Much of the fighting in Ukraine is now in the south and east of the country, where Ukrainian forces are conducting counteroffensive operations to take back territory occupied by Russia.
Russia is able to commit to such costly attacks as it has ramped up recruitment over the course of the war by utilizing “financial incentives” and its partial mobilization last year, the UK MoD also said in its update.
“This increase of personnel is the major factor behind Russia’s ability to both defend held territory and conduct costly assaults,” it said.
Those figures do not include the mercenary Wagner Group, which was headed by Yevgeny Prigozhin until he reportedly died in a plane crash in August, or their prisoner battalions who fought in Bakhmut.
