UK Defence Intelligence has reported that drone and missile attacks on Russian territory, strategically important for Ukraine in the war, have grown more frequent over the last few months. Source: UK Defence Intelligence review on Twitter, as reported by European Pravda Details: The report says that "the leadership of Russia's Aerospace Forces (VKS) is highly likely under intense pressure to improve the air defences over the Western Russia.
The Russian command is being forced to consider redeploying reinforcements from its priority area near Zaporizhzhia to the left bank of the Dnipro River near Kherson as Ukrainian defenders step up their fight to control newly taken positions on this territory.
UK Defence Intelligence has revealed the role of virtual private networks (VPNs) for Russians as a way to keep their actions private and bypass censorship, which may be connected to the government's increased efforts to block access to them.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's decision to put heavy weapons at the disposal of the Rosgvardia (the Russian National Guard) may indicate that he views this structure as one of the main pillars of the regime's security.
Russia is attacking Ukrainian infrastructure in the country's south with Iranian-made drones, as it believes that such strikes will not lead to a significant escalation, according to an assessment by UK Defence Intelligence.
