According to the Ukrainian military, it has gained further ground during its offensive in the south of the country. “In the south, the attacks of our armed forces continue, we are gradually making progress, are partially successful, are pushing back the enemy and straightening the front,” wrote Deputy Defense Minister in Kiev Hanna Maljar on her Telegram channel. Accordingly, the attacks are in the direction of Melitopol and Berdyansk.
However, the major cities mentioned by Maljar are still a long way from the front in the Russian-occupied hinterland of southern Ukraine. Despite the proclaimed progress, the Ukrainian military has apparently not taken any more towns. In any case, there is no corresponding information in Maljar’s report. The official had always been one of the first to report the receipts of the eight settlements that had been recaptured so far.
According to her, heavy fighting is also raging in eastern Ukraine. Here the Kiev military is largely on the defensive. However, they managed to hold positions and inflict heavy casualties on the Russian attackers in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
