Ukraine's counteroffensive
This summer, Ukrainian military forces intensified their offensive actions in the south and east of Ukraine. Defenders are advancing on the flanks of the Bakhmut direction, where active combat operations have been ongoing for a long time.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have also made progress in the Zaporizhzhia region and in the western Donetsk region, where they have liberated over 10 settlements.
Moreover, the Ukrainian military recently entered the town of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region. ISW analysts suggest that the Ukrainian forces are approaching the next defensive line of the Russians in the Zaporizhzhia region, and the soldiers are advancing through the most challenging segment of the occupiers' defensive positions.
