Advance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

Ukrainian defenders intensified their offensive in the Zaporizhzhia region during the summer, and battles are ongoing, particularly in the Melitopol and Berdyansk directions. There have also been reports of Ukrainian forces breaking through the first line of defense of Russian occupiers.

In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are pressing the enemy in the Bakhmut direction. Our military is advancing south of Bakhmut, which is currently under the control of occupiers.

Meanwhile, it should be noted that the occupiers are attempting to break through the Ukrainian defense in the Kupiansk and Lyman directions. As the head of the press service of the Eastern Joint Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ilia Yevlash, stated, the enemy continues to form a "strike force" in the Kupiansk direction and employs the tactic of "human wave" assaults. Ukrainian Defense Forces have also noted that the occupiers have concentrated in the area of Novoehorivka in the Luhansk region because they want to create a so-called "corridor."
