According to British intelligence, Russia will transfer its forces from Mariupol to intensify operations in the Donbas.
Thanks to the resistance of the defenders of Mariupol, Russian forces in this direction need to be re-equipped before they can be effectively redeployed. This can be a lengthy process if done carefully.
However, the Russian command is likely to quickly redistribute its forces to the Donbas under pressure without proper training, which will lead to further depletion of the Russian army.
