British Intelligence Update as of Dec 27

Over the last 48 hours, fighting has remained focused around the Bakhmut sector of Donetsk Oblast, and near Svatove in Luhansk.

Russia continues to initiate frequent small-scale assaults in these areas, although little territory has changed hands.

To the north, elements of Russia’s 1st Guards Tank Army were probably amongst the Russian forces recently deployed to Belarus.

This formation was likely conducting training before its deployment and is unlikely to have the support units needed to make it combat-ready.
