The spokesperson emphasized that our defenders have achieved success and are consolidating their positions on the Novodanylivka-Verbove, Novodanylivka-Robotine, and Novodarivka-Pryiutne directions in the Zaporizhzhia region.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces also continue to attack north and south of Bakhmut.

As a reminder, since the beginning of summer, our defenders have intensified offensive operations near Bakhmut and in the Zaporizhzhia region. Battles are ongoing on two fronts: Melitopol and Berdyansk.

Earlier, the Ukrainian command stated that our defenders could encircle Bakhmut tactically. Recently, the commander of the Ground Forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, confirmed that all conditions have been created for the liberation of Bakhmut.

According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are advancing every day from 500 meters to one kilometer.
