Counteroffensive by Ukraine
This summer, Ukrainian Military Forces have intensified their offensive operations in the south and east of Ukraine. Defenders are making advancements on the flanks of the Bakhmut direction, where active combat operations have been ongoing for an extended period.
Furthermore, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have managed to advance into the Zaporizhzhia region and in the western part of the Donetsk region, liberating over 10 populated areas.
Recently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces entered the settlement of Robotyne in the Zaporizhia region. Analysts at ISW believe that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have approached another line of defense held by Russian forces in the Zaporizhzhia region, and soldiers are advancing through one of the most challenging sections of the occupiers' defensive positions.
