Counteroffensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces

For over a month, Ukrainian defense forces have been conducting a counteroffensive on the frontlines since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Currently, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have successfully liberated several settlements in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as a few positions that were occupied since 2014 near Krasnohorivka, Donetsk region.

On July 27, it was reported that the village of Staromaiorske in the Donetsk region was also liberated.

According to the Institute of War Studies, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continue their counteroffensive operations on multiple fronts, making progress in the western part of the Zaporizhzhia region and in the Bakhmut direction. Meanwhile, the Kremlin is attempting to portray the Ukrainian counteroffensive as unsuccessful to boost the morale of the occupiers.
