The British Ministry of Defense analyzed the progress of Russian ground forces on the territory of Ukraine in July 2025, FOCUS reported.
An intelligence report published by the British department on the X social network states that Russian ground forces "with high probability" have captured about 500-550 sq. km of Ukrainian territory.
The report states: "Russian ground forces captured a similar territory in Ukraine in June 2025, after a monthly increase since March 2025. The RSF continued their tactical advance in the Donetsk region, mainly to the northeast and southwest of Pokrovsk", the military said.
British intelligence noted that Russian troops continue their attempts to surround Pokrovsk, as well as to put pressure on the remaining logistical routes to the city.
British intelligence is also analyzing the situation in Sumy region. The intelligence community notes that the Russian military has not achieved any noticeable successes there in the past two weeks.
"The constant losses and counterattacks of Ukraine have probably thwarted Russia's plans to create a buffer zone in the Sumy region".
