BRITISH intelligence chiefs have warned Putin’s forces are gathering in south Ukraine for a “new assault” on the war-torn nation.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) claims Putin’s troops are “almost certainly” gathering in anticipation of a Ukrainian counter-offensive or for a possible fresh attack as part of his invasion of the country.
The MoD warned the conflict “is about to enter a new phase” in which the fighting would shift west and south to a roughly 350-kilometre front line that extends from near the city of Zaporizhzhia to Russian-occupied Kherson.
Convoys of Russian military trucks & tanks were spotted moving away from the Donbas region, which has been the focus of Russia’s invasion.
It said military equipment was “reported to be moving from Russian-occupied Melitopol, Berdiansk, Mariupol and from mainland Russia via the Kerch Bridge into Crimea”.
