Russia-Ukraine war at a glance
The UK’s Ministry of Defence has conjectured that “a concerted new Russian offensive is less likely over the coming weeks”, based on its assessment that “Russia has highly likely committed elements of its new 25th Combined Arms Army (25 CAA) to action for the first time.”
It claims that “The formation started moving into Ukraine from late August 2023”, and that “Since the start of the invasion, Russia has only rarely maintained an uncommitted army-size grouping which could potentially form the basis of a major new offensive thrust.”
