Undergrowth regrowing across the battlefields of southern Ukraine is likely one factor contributing to the generally slow progress of combat in the area, the Intelligence Service of UK's Defense Ministry wrote on Twitter, APA reports.

It was also added that the extra cover helps camouflage Russian defensive positions and makes defensive mine fields harder to clear.
