(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUL 2 - Russian army is achieving "minor advances around Lysychansk, with air and artillery strikes continuing in the district. Ukrainian forces probably continue to block Russian forces in the south-eastern outskirts of Lysychansk," the UK Ministry of Defence said in its latest intelligence update today. "Russia continues to employ air-launched anti-ship missiles in a secondary land attack role, likely because of dwindling stockpiles of more accurate modern weapons," the ministry added. (ANSA).
