Fighting in the Dnipropetrovsk region
At the end of August, the Dnipro Operational-Strategic Grouping of Troops reported that Russian forces had breached into the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Analysts from DeepState said Russian forces had captured the villages of Zaporizke and Novoheorhiivka.
Since then, active fighting has continued in the region.
Last week, it was reported that Ukrainian forces stopped a mechanized assault by the enemy in the Dnipropetrovsk region, inflicting losses on Russian troops.
