(ANSA) - BELGRADE, SEP 23 - "The battlefield situation
remains complex, but Ukraine is now putting pressure on
territory Russia considers essential to its war aims," the UK
Ministry of Defence said in its latest intelligence update
today. "In the last three days, Ukrainian forces have secured
bridgeheads on the east bank of the Oskil River in Kharkiv
Oblast. Russia has attempted to integrate the Oskil into a
consolidated defensive line following its forces' withdrawals
earlier in the month. To the south, in Donetsk Oblast, fighting
is ongoing as Ukrainian forces assault the town of Lyman, east
of the Siverskyy Donets River, which Russia captured in May."
