(ANSA) - BELGRADE, MAY 24 - Russia has intensified military operations in the Donbas with the aim of encircling Severodonetsk, Lyschansk, and Rubizhne, the UK Ministry of Defence said in its intelligence update about the conflict today. "There has been strong Ukrainian resistance with forces occupying well dug-in defensive positions. Ukraine's long-established Joint Force Operation likely retains effective command and control of this front," the report reads. However, it continues that Russian forces "achieved some localised successes due to concentrating artillery units." (ANSA).
