Russia has its own counter-blow ready as Ukraine continues its counteroffensive across all fronts, military analyst Professor Michael Clarke has said.

"The Russians are building up a lot of troops around Kreminna in the north," he added.

On the other hand, he stressed Ukraine's military is making some real progress in the south of Bakmut, is planning to take Tokmak to "secure a way to the coast" and has opened a third front by crossing the Dnipro's river reaching Kherson.
