There are also reports of medical supplies shortages, including broad-spectrum antibiotics.

The war is likely having a significant impact on this situation, as hospitals are treating wounded soldiers, UK Defence Intelligence believes.

The Russian government has also been forced to downsize civilian medical facilities across the country due to medical staff shortages and financial hardship.

Background:

• In a previous review, UK intelligence analysed the impact of first-person view drones on the situation on Kherson Oblast’s left (eastern) bank.
• The UK MoD also analysed incidents when Russia accidentally dropped munitions on cities on its territory and occupied Ukrainian settlements.
