Units that have suffered major losses have been forced to return to Russia and Belarus to refuel and reorganise, which is placing “above Russia's already overloaded logistics”, Britain said.
The defence ministry said Russian forces would likely compensate for the reduced land maneuvering capacity through massive artillery attacks and missile attacks.
Russia said on March 29th it would reduce military activities around Kiev and Cernihivi, and has earlier said it would focus its military operations on eastern Ukrainian regions.
