For the past few days, Russia has stressed it is switching its focus to eastern Ukraine, and UK defence intelligence says that is "likely a tacit admission" that it is struggling to sustain operations in the north.
Seizing land on the south coast is a big aim for President Putin, but so is his bid to "liberate" the east. Russian-backed puppets had already seized control of more than a third of the two eastern areas in 2014.
Russian forces are tightening their grip on the north-eastern region of Luhansk, but they have far less control of Donetsk region and Ukraine's Joint Forces Operation in the east has reputedly some of the best-trained brigades in the army.

But Russian attacks have intensified on towns to the west of the "line of contact" - the front line from the earlier war.
Luhansk authorities say there have been 35 artillery attacks on local towns in 24 hours. Only this morning, blocks of flats and a kindergarten were hit in Lysychansk, says the regional military leader.

At least one person was killed in a residential block, he says. Details cannot be independently verified.
Meanwhile, separatist leaders allege at least one person has died in Ukrainian shelling of Russian-held areas of Donetsk.
