Counteroffensive by Ukrainian Armed Forces
Since the beginning of the summer, Ukrainian troops have continued their offensive operations in eastern and southern Ukraine. Currently, active fighting is taking place south of Bakhmut and in the Melitopol direction.
The most recently liberated towns were Andriivka and Klishchiivka in the Donetsk region. According to the Armed Forces, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already established fire control over the Bakhmut-Horlivka highway. This will provide more opportunities to eliminate occupiers and disrupt their supply lines.
The commander of the Tavria troop grouping, Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, believes that a significant breakthrough in the counteroffensive may occur after Ukrainian defenders liberate Tokmak in the Zaporizhzhia region.
