British intelligence revealed the next possible plans of Russia

In the next week, Russia will focus on attempts to advance in the direction of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.

According to European Pravda, this is stated in an intelligence review of the war in Ukraine for July 13.

It is noted that Russian forces in Donbas are likely to focus on capturing small towns like Seversk and Dolyna, on the approaches to Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, and the main targets of this phase of the operation will be the urban areas of Sloviansk and Kramatorsk.

Intelligence notes that the resistance movement in the occupied territories is attacking representatives of the occupation authorities and collaborators - as recently blown up in the car of the occupiers' appointed "head of administration" Bolshoy Burluk - and this trend is likely to continue, creating additional problems for the Russians.

It is also noted that the Russian Federation continues to try to undermine the legitimacy of the Ukrainian authorities and strengthen its control over the occupied territories. This is evidenced, in particular, by the initiative of twinning between Russian and Ukrainian cities and regions and the decree to simplify the procedure for granting Russian citizenship to Ukrainians.
