Ukraine’s counteroffensive has made “tactically significant” gains in the Bakhmut area and continued operations in at least three other sectors of the frontline, according to a US thinktank.
The Institute for the Study of War said geolocated footage showed Ukrainian forces made substantial ground near villages north and south Bakhmut, regaining control over previously lost positions in the area. Military officials confirmed continued offensive operations in western Zaporizhia and along the border between Zaporizhia and Donetsk oblasts.
The Russian Ministry of Defence and other Russian sources claimed that Ukrainian forces conducted offensive operations in the Kreminna direction along the Kharkiv-Luhansk border.
