The MoD claimed Putin will now be "forced" to improve Russia's "defensive posture".
The Russian leader has given some Ukrainians six months to make a major choice.
But the Russian president is unlikely to stop with his invasion anytime soon.
At least 160 of the country's hospitals closed last year.
The MoD believes there is "unease" within the Russian leadership over Kyiv's recent attack.
Battle continues even as Donald Trump pushes for peace.
Ukrainians may now be eligible for conscription to the Russian army.
The government slashed foreign aid to increase the defence budget.
The casualty rate among Russian troops has dipped as a result although it is still high.
But it's unlikely to deter the Russian president from his land grab in Ukraine.
