British intelligence reveals Russian army advancing through Maryinka ruins
n recent weeks, Russian troops have been gradually advancing through the ruins of Maryinka, a town in the Donetsk Oblast region. The occupiers are now likely to control most of the built-up area.
What British intelligence has found
According to the report, Ukrainian forces still control part of the territory on the western outskirts of the city.
Maryinka has been on the frontline since 2014. Before the war, its population was 9,000. According to British intelligence, it is now completely destroyed: drone footage shows that the vast majority of buildings have been reduced to rubble.
Russia's resumption of operations in Maryinka is part of Russia's autumn offensive, which is aimed at expanding Russian control over the rest of the Donetsk region. It is likely that this remains one of the Kremlin's main military objectives, the UK Ministry of Defence said.
