As the U.S. moved Thursday to cut American exports to three Russian airlines and the U.N. General Assembly voted to suspend Russia from the United Nation’s Human Rights Council, U.K. officials warned that Russian shelling in Ukraine was a prelude to a greater assault.
Britain’s defense ministry says the country is targeting infrastructure to wear down Ukraine’s government and military ahead of a renewed attack.
In an intelligence update on Thursday, the ministry said that “progressing offensive operations in eastern Ukraine is the main focus of Russian military forces.”
Russia, they continued, appears to be targeting the “line of control” between areas in Donbas controlled by Ukraine and those held by Russia-supporting separatists.
The U.K. said, “Russian forces are likely to continue facing morale issues and shortages of supplies and personnel.”
The Russians have largely withdrawn around the capital city of Kyiv and northern Ukraine.

This warning comes as Ukraine has told residents to leave impacted areas and urged Western nations aiding their defense to send “weapons, weapons and weapons.”
“The more weapons we get and the sooner they arrive in Ukraine, the more human lives will be saved,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said at NATO headquarters.
NATO Secretary-General Jen Stoltenberg has called on countries belonging to the Western alliance to send Ukraine more weapons.

The International Criminal Court opened an investigation into possible war crimes in Ukraine before the grim discoveries.
