Russian and Russian-backed separatist forces in the Donetsk region of Ukraine have suffered heavy casualties, according to UK intelligence officials.

UK military intelligence said Russia was very likely aiming to deploy a large number of reserve units to Ukraine’s eastern Donbas, which is made up of Donetsk and Luhansk.
