Ukraine’s defence forces are making gains in southern and eastern Ukraine, advancing 1,300 metres on the Berdiansk front, 1,200 metres on the Klishchiivka front, and 1,500 metres on the Kurdiumivka front.

Source: Hanna Maliar, Ukraine’s Deputy Defence Minister, on Telegram

Quote from Maliar: "Our defence forces are continuing to mount an offensive on the Melitopol, Berdiansk and Bakhmut fronts.

They are clawing back every metre of our land from the enemy in tough battles. They are making gains.

Meanwhile, enemy forces are continuing their attempts to advance on the Lyman, Avdiivka and Marinka fronts, but are unsuccessful. [...]

Enemy forces are amassing all their reserves – even a marine brigade that had earlier fled Kherson.

On the Berdiansk front, [Ukraine’s defence forces] have advanced by some 1,300 metres."

Details: Maliar also reported that Ukrainian defence forces are also making gains on the Rivnopil–Volodyne axis, where they are currently consolidating their recently captured positions and inflicting significant losses on Russian forces: "They are practically bleeding the enemy’s offensive capabilities dry, destroying their equipment, storage depots and command centres, and killing their personnel."

On the Bakhmut front in eastern Ukraine, Ukraine’s defence forces have regained the initiative.

Russian forces are attempting to hold their positions and conduct counteroffensive operations, but are suffering losses and slowly retreating.

Ukrainian forces advanced by some 1,200 and 1,500 metres on the Klishchiivka and Kurdiumivka fronts respectively.

Maliar said that fighting on Bakhmut’s flanks continues: "Our [forces] are making gains. They are currently consolidating their positions on the liberated territories."

The deputy defence minister also reported that the Bakhmut front is once again "hot", with intense fighting taking place across the front. Russia is deploying its reserves there and trying its best to maintain control of the city.

Damn, I can't imagine the casualties and horrifying environment they must be in on a daily basis. God bless anyone who has the balls to protect their home.

Can we not use a blatant propaganda outlet as a news source

[–] mea_rah 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is backed by official update from Hanna Maliar, Ukraine’s Deputy Defence Minister. She tends to delay the updates until after couple days due to opsec and usually does not announce liberated areas until Ukraine has solid control over the area.
