Ukraine says it is making further progress in the south. “We have achieved partial success west of Robotyne,” says southern group spokesman Oleksandr Stupun on state television. “In some areas we have advanced between 100 and 600 meters.” The Ukrainian troops would continue to expand their positions. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces said the troops repelled Russian attacks near Robotyne and Verbove.
The Russian Defense Ministry speaks of successes by its armed forces on the Eastern Front. According to the Ukrainian General Staff, Russian forces have tried unsuccessfully to recapture the area near Andriyivka in the east, which Ukraine recaptured last month.

The US government says it has sent ammunition confiscated from Iran to Ukraine. The ammunition was originally seized by the US military on a ship in the Gulf of Oman in December 2022, the responsible regional command of the US military (Centcom) and the US Department of Justice announced on Wednesday (local time). Iran wanted to send around 1.1 million shots to the Houthi rebels in Yemen, it said. This is a violation of a UN Security Council resolution. The USA consequently declared the ammunition to be its property.
With this arms transfer, the US government’s actions once morest one authoritarian regime now directly support Ukraine’s fight once morest another authoritarian regime, according to the US Department of Justice. The USA has been supplying Ukraine with controversial cluster munitions for several months. US President Joe Biden justified this, among other things, by saying that the US military was lacking ammunition. The United States is Ukraine’s most important ally in the defense once morest Russian invaders and has provided billions of dollars in military aid over the past 19 months.
