Ukrainian army reports small successes
The Ukrainian army says it is advancing further on two long-contested sectors of the front. The General Staff announced on Tuesday that there had been “partial successes” in the town of Klishchiyivka, south of the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut.
The Russian army captured Bakhmut in the Donetsk region in May after months of costly fighting. However, Ukraine is now attacking north and south of the city and putting pressure on the occupiers on the flanks.
The Kiev General Staff reported further partial successes from the Robotyne area in the Zaporizhia region in the south. The Ukrainian army has been slowly working its way through heavily mined Russian defense lines there for weeks. The military information is often not immediately verifiable; In this case, however, they roughly correspond to the picture of the situation that experts can recognize with the help of photos and videos.
The Ukrainian army reported Russian artillery fire and air strikes from all sectors of the front. Ukraine has been resisting a Russian invasion for more than a year and a half.
