Russia, Ukraine Have Amassed Significant Forces Around Key Area, U.K. Says

Russia and Ukraine have both amassed "significant forces" in the key area of Zaporizhzhia, but the conflict there appears to be deadlocked, according to the U.K.'s Ministry of Defense (MOD).

The defense ministry issued its latest update on the ongoing war in Ukraine on Saturday morning and reported that large-scale clashes have not taken place in Bakhmut so far.

The update came as the Ukrainian government claimed Saturday that more than 20,000 Russian troops had been killed over the past month, though Ukraine's figures have not been verified and the country describes them as "approximate."

The MOD said that in recent days "the heaviest fighting has focused in three sectors. In the northeast, near Kremina, Ukraine has likely made small gains and successfully defended against a Russian counter-attack."
