Ukraine said Russia has been hit with ‘colossal losses’ in its fight to take the Donbas region.
Kremlin troops have been focusing their attack on the east of Ukraine – where Moscow has separatist support – since losing their battle for Kyiv.
A Pentagon official confirmed Russian forces were ‘making slow and uneven and, frankly incremental progress in the Donbas’.The US and the UK said the slow progress means Russian victory is unlikely by May 9 The official added: ‘As it starts to rain more and there’s more mud, it will force them to be ever more reliant on paved roads and paved highways, and that we would expect that some of their progress will be slowed by, frankly, by mud and by weather conditions.
But Britain’s armed forces minister James Heappey said it was unlikely Russia would gain much ground by that point.
